Abstract
The invention is a system with methods that make use of publicly available online map systems and personal computers or mobile devices to provide intuitive user interfaces through which users can browse vicinities of their interests and search for objects and information associated with the vicinities with the need of a positioning hardware such as GPS. The vicinities of the objects and information search are determined by users through operating a map view using a web client application of the system. The system constructs geographic coordinates from a map view or from a travel route on the map view, with which the system associates objects and information and from which the system constructs database query statements for finding location specific objects and information.
