Abstract
A machine and associated methods are provided to decouple the level of detail shown within a map from the zoom level of the map. A user interface is provided to receive commands to increase or decrease the level of detail of items shown in a map, including the number of geographical elements shown in the map, independent of a control of a change in the zoom level for the map. Rendering circuitry can responsively render different versions of a map having different levels of detail within the same zoom level. The different versions of the map can be displayed on a display device.
