Embedded dynamic map generation
First Claim
1. A map generation system that facilitates automatically providing map related information with minimal user data input comprising:
- a location component that automatically detects a dynamic location; and
a mapping processor that analyzes and correlates the dynamic location with respect to at least one static location to facilitate the generation of at least one customized map view of the static location with respect to the dynamic location.

Abstract
A unique map generation system and method are provide that facilitates automatically detecting a user'"'"'s (or user'"'"'s device'"'"'s) current location and generating at least one customized map view of a static location based on the current (dynamic) location of the user. Many portable and handheld devices have very small user interfaces and limited means of entering alphanumeric information. Network-based content such as web pages offer generic map views of a location of the content but without consideration of the user'"'"'s location. Traditional systems require entry of the relevant data (e.g., address information) in order to obtain or generate a map view or directions. However, in the subject system, the user'"'"'s location can be automatically detected and “entered” and a customized map view for this current location in relation to the content'"'"'s location can be created—thus with minimal user input or action.
