1. A computer system for providing point of interest (POI) information to a user, the computer system comprising:
- a memory having processor-readable instructions stored therein; and
a processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the processor configures the processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions to;
identify a plurality of points of interest (POIs) within a pre-determined travel time or a predetermined travel distance from one or more intersections or highways exits, and determine a POI category of each of the plurality of POIs;
associate each of the plurality of POIs and its respective determined POI category with a closest one of the one or more intersections or highway exits; and
determine a rating of each intersection or highway exit of the one or more intersections or highway exits based on;
a number of different POI categories associated with each intersection or highway exit of the one or more intersections or highway exits, and pre-calculated POI data stored in an electronic database.

Abstract
Computer implemented methods are disclosed. The methods may include identifying a plurality of points of interest (POIs) within a pre-determined travel time from an intersection or highway exit and calculating a travel time and distance from the intersection or highway exit to each of the plurality of POIs. The methods may further include, associating each of the plurality of POIs with the intersection or highway exit, and storing the travel time and distance from the intersection or highway exit to each of the plurality of associated POIs in an electronic database as pre-calculated POI data.
