1. A method of processing geographically referenced content comprising geographical coordinate data in a portable computing device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first source, geographically referenced content comprising geographic coordinate data;
receiving a geographic map from a second source;
storing the received geographically referenced content in a first portion the data storage;
storing the geographical map in a second portion of the data storage;
retrieving the geographical map from the second portion of the data storage based at least in part on a geographical index of the geographical map;
retrieving geographically referenced content from the first portion of the data storage based at least in part on a geographical index of the geographically referenced content;
displaying the geographical map on a visual display; and
displaying an icon on the displayed geographical map, wherein the location of the icon on the geographical map corresponds to the geographical coordinate data of the retrieved geographically referenced content.
