1. A portable electronic device for providing a mapping application, comprising:
- a display operative to display a representation of a map; and
control circuitry operative to;
receive a time-dependent search request;
identify the time frame of interest for the received search;
identify the future location of the device at the identified time frame; and
search for points of interest related to the search request and located in the vicinity of the identified future location.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for identifying points of interest and specific locations located in the vicinity of an expected future location of a user. When a user provides a search request for a point of interest that will be of interest only at a future time, the electronic device can automatically predict an expected future location of the user, and provide points of interest near the expected future location.

10. A method for identifying points of interest positioned in a user'"'"'s future location, comprising:
-
receiving at least one search term for identifying a point of interest; determining that the search term is associated with a time frame other than the current time frame; identifying a future location at which the user will be at the time frame associated with the search term; and retrieving points of interest based on the at least one search term located in proximity of the identified future location. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
