Abstract
Location data corresponding to the geographic location of a particular event is obtained in response to information concerning the event and received at a computing device present at the geographic location. The geographic location information is used to produce a map or other visual display corresponding to the event and to the geographic location thus obtained. The geographic location information may be obtained from any appropriate source such as a GPS receiver or wireless system capable of providing geographic location information with accuracy acceptable to the particular application. The GPS receiver or other source of geographic location information may be incorporated into the computing device, or may comprise a separate element operationally interrelated so as to obtain the current geographic location information in response to entering the event information at the computing device.
