An application on a thin client displays a map. A graphical user interface
permits the application to receive single gesture inputs of a stylus. If
the single gesture input comprises a drag of the stylus a minimum
distance, the map is panned such that the map is shifted to a new center
view. The displayed map may contain one or more map objects. If the input
comprises a single tap on a specific map object, the map object under the
tap may be selected and highlighted. Further, a ToolTip for the map
object may be displayed. A further tap of the ToolTip may result in the
navigation to a link or URL associated with the map object selected. One
or more zoom buttons may also be displayed. If a zoom button is tapped by
the user, the map may be displayed in a different level of detail.
