Abstract
An approach for providing retrieval of requested information via a graphical user interface (GUI), which in one embodiment of the present invention, is web-enabled. A user utilizing a client station is able to obtain, for example, telecommunication information based on a user input address information. An address entry screen is provided for inputting address information and specifying desired criteria corresponding to telecommunication information. The address entry screen includes a display size field for inputting map scaling information, and a return-a-map field for requesting a map graphic. A map screen displays the map graphic and the telecommunication information based upon the input address information, the specified desired criteria, and the input map scaling information.
