Abstract
An exemplary system includes a system includes a map subsystem configured to provide data representative of a map to an access device communicatively coupled to the map subsystem, the map being representative of a geographic area. The map subsystem is further configured to provide a landmark selection tool to the access device, the landmark selection tool including at least one selectable landmark option associated with at least one landmark located within the geographic area. The map subsystem is further configured to detect a user selection of the at least one selectable landmark option and provide, in response to the user selection, at least one visual indicator of the at least one landmark for display on the map. In certain embodiments, the at least one selectable landmark option includes a plurality of selectable landmark options prioritized in relation to one another for display in a graphical user interface.

12. A system comprising:
-
a landmark data subsystem providing landmark data; and a map subsystem communicatively coupled to said landmark data subsystem and an access device, said map subsystem being configured to provide data representative of a map to the access device, the map being representative of a geographic area, use at least a subset of the landmark data to generate a plurality of selectable landmark options associated with a plurality of landmarks located in the geographic area, prioritize at least a subset of the selectable landmark options in relation to one another based on sponsor fees associated with the landmarks, provide the plurality of selectable landmark options, including the prioritized at least a subset of the selectable landmark options, to the access device for display in a graphical user interface, detect a user selection of one of the selectable landmark options, and provide, in response to the user selection, a visual indicator of the landmark associated with the selected selectable landmark option for display on the map. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
