Abstract
A novel method, apparatus, and system are disclosed that provide a mobile terminal user with up to date information regarding a point/location of interest. A user may identify a destination, and subsequently select points of interest at the destination from photos, audio or other media displayed to the user. Each media item may be geo-tagged or otherwise associated with a particular point of interest, tourist location, museum, etc. For example, when visiting Washington, D.C., the user may be shown photos of the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Museums, Lincoln Memorial, and the White House. The user may select one or more of the points of interest, and the system then generates an itinerary and/or a walking/driving/biking travel route responsive to the selected media items.
