Abstract
A method (203) for using electronic large format location dependent documents can include the steps of determining (200) a location of a remote user terminal (110) and accessing (210) at a server a document database having document information related to the plurality of documents. The document information includes at least one physical location associated with each document and the method further includes the step of searching (220) the document database and generating (230) a list of matching documents. The list of matching documents includes an identification of each one of the plurality of documents having an associated physical location substantially matching the determined location of the remote user terminal. The method can further retrieve (250) a selected document from the mass storage device system and display (260) the selected document on a large format display (105) coupled to the remote user terminal.
