Abstract
A geo-temporal information display system includes a wireless telecommunications device connected to a geo-temporal information server. The wireless telecommunications device includes a display. The geo-temporal information server contains geo-temporal information and at least one map. The map includes at least one particular location which, for example, may be the location if the telecommunications device. The telecommunications device receives a user-customized subset of the geo-temporal information. The subset may be a specific type of weather data, such as precipitation or lightning. The subset may also represent other geo-temporal information. This subset is displayed concurrently with the map on the display of the wireless telecommunications device.
