More Information
Summary:Computer-implemented methods and systems for disambiguation of location entities associated with the current geographic location of a mobile device include obtaining data indicative of a current geographic location of the mobile device and providing map imagery of a geographic area associated with such current location. A first interface element is provided for display on the map imagery at a location indicative of the current geographic location of the mobile device. Data indicative of user selection of the first interface element can be received. A list of nearby location entities is then provided for display for a user to manually select which one of the nearby location entities matches the current geographic location of the mobile device. Data indicative of user selection of one of the nearby location entities is received. A second interface element providing information about the selected location entity then is provided for display on the map imagery.
