1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more processors, a request for a vehicle from a client computing device, wherein the request identifies a first location;

    using, by the one or more processors, pre-stored map information and the first location to identify a recommended point according to a set of heuristics, wherein each heuristic of the set of heuristics has a ranking such that the recommended point corresponds to a location that satisfies at least one of the heuristics having a first rank and such that no other location satisfies any other heuristic of the set of heuristics having a higher rank than the first rank, the pre-stored map information identifying a plurality of pre-determined locations for the vehicle to stop, and wherein the recommended point is one of the plurality of pre-determined locations; and

    providing, by the one or more processors, the recommended point to the client computing device for display on a display of the client computing device with a map.
