Abstract
Results of a Location Based Search can be saved for later use. The results can be saved as a contact in a contacts application. The device may automatically populate various fields of a contact based on a request by a user to save the search result as a contact. Once saved as a contact, the location based search result contact may be used to place a phone call, send an e-mail, access a website, review a menu, or take some other action.
