Driving directions with landmark data
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a landmark data subsystem providing landmark data; and
a driving directions subsystem communicatively coupled to said landmark data subsystem and configured togenerate driving directions in response to a request received from an access device communicatively coupled to said driving directions subsystem, said driving directions including a least a subset of said landmark data representative of one or more landmarks located along a route defined by said driving directions, andprovide data representative of said driving directions to the access device.

Abstract
In one of many possible embodiments, an exemplary system includes a landmark data subsystem providing landmark data and a driving directions subsystem communicatively coupled to the landmark data subsystem. The driving directions subsystem is configured to generate driving directions in response to a request received from an access device. The driving directions include a least a subset of the landmark data, which is representative of one or more landmarks located along a route defined by the driving directions. The driving directions subsystem is further configured to provide data representative of the driving directions to the access device. In certain embodiments, the driving directions subsystem is configured to provide to the access device a selection tool enabling a user of the access device to select between displaying and hiding the landmark data.

12. A system comprising:
-
a landmark data generator configured to use directory listings stored in a directory subsystem to generate landmark data, said landmark data representing one or more landmarks and including at least a landmark identifier and a street address for each of said one or more landmarks; an access module configured to receive a request for driving directions from an access device communicatively coupled to said access module; and a driving directions engine communicatively coupled to the access module and the landmark data generator and configured to generate street-based driving directions in response to the request, said street-based driving directions identifying a route, and incorporate at least a subset of said landmark data into said street-based driving directions, said at least a subset of said landmark data being representative of at least a subset of said one or more landmarks, said street address of each said landmark included in said at least a subset of said one or more landmarks being located along said route; said access module being configured to provide to the access device data representative of said driving directions having said at least a subset of said landmark data.
