Operating system support for location cards

Innovations in the area of presentation of location-related actions and location information are presented. For example, an application calls an operating system to generate a location card. The location card can show a map of a location as well as additional information about the location and one or more action indicators. With an action indicator, a user can launch an application to perform an action related to the location immediately and directly from the location card. Depending on usage scenario, an application can specify different actions to be represented with action indicators in a location card. At the same time, location cards supported by the operating system provide a consistent way to expose location information and location-related actions to users. 提出了在呈现位置相关的动作和位置信息的领域的创新。例如，应用调用操作系统以生成位置卡。位置卡可以示出位置的地图以及关于位置的附加信息和个或多个动作指示符。利用动作指示符，用户可以立即并且直接地从位置卡启动应用以执行与位置相关的动作。根据使用场景，应用可以指定要用位置卡中的动作指示符表示的不同动作。同时，操作系统所支持的位置卡提供了向用户展示位置信息和位置相关动作的致方式。
