More Information
Summary:A point of interest (POI) viewpoint generation system and method may analyze attributes of photographs captured in the vicinity of a POI to automatically annotate a digital map with a viewpoint marker that corresponds to the POI. The viewpoint may include a geographic location in the vicinity of a POI which serves as a vantage point from where an observer (e.g., a photographer, a person viewing the location, etc.) may view or photograph the POI. The viewpoint marker may include a visible indication (e.g., an icon) included with the visual representation of the digital map. The geographic location of the viewpoint marker may roughly correspond to the cartographic location of the viewpoint.
