Abstract
Methods, system, and user interfaces for providing a user interface enabling community-based map functionalities for users of a social networking system are described. One method includes providing a user interface (UI) that includes a geographic map portion and a rating portion. The geographic map portion depicts a geographic area and includes a set of location identifiers, and the rating portion includes a set of rating list elements. Each rating list element includes a rating input UI element allowing the user to rate a location that the social networking system has determined that the user has visited. The method also includes receiving a first rating for a first location, which is generated through use of the rating portion. The method further includes, responsive to said receiving of the first rating, modifying the user interface to indicate that the first rating was received.
