Abstract
The invention relates to a travel information center which provides travel information upon a user request. In order to confirm the user is a registered user, a controller will require a search of a memory database, located in the travel information center, and confirm the users identification number entered by the user. Upon confirmation, the member can access the travel information center. The user is now able to input starting and ending locations for their course of travel. The travel information center will then provide information such as the shortest or quickest route to arrive at the desired destination. Other information can be obtained by the user through the travel information center that will be useful to the members along the travel route, such as shopping malls and restaurant locations.
