Abstract
A method and apparatus for mapping addressable information (e.g., locations denoted by name or address, street addresses, landmarks, etc.) off of disparate applications on a mobile device, onto an existing map on the mobile device, are disclosed. An application on a mobile device may display addressable information (e.g., a website displaying a location name and/or address, an email containing an address, etc.). In response to a user's selecting the addressable information and invoking a mapping command, a map-display application (e.g., Google Maps®, Yahoo! Maps®, Windows Live Search Map®, MapQuest®, iPhone® maps, Waze® etc.) may be automatically presented (e.g., launches, become visible, displayed, etc.) displaying the addressable information in addition to at least one prior mapping content previously displayed by the map-display application.
