9. The method according to claim 6, wherein

obtaining the geographic location of the user comprises:

outputting a map, and regarding latitude and longitude coordinates of a location point which is chosen by the user on the map as the geographic location of the user;

or

obtaining the geographic location of the user comprises;

regarding the geographic descriptive information input by the user as the geographic location of the user;

or

obtaining the geographic location of the user comprises;

regarding latitude and longitude coordinates input by the user as the geographic location of the user.

10. The method according to any one of claims 6 to 9, wherein

generating the navigation information of the user according to the geographic location of the user comprises:

generating an orientation diagram of the user according to the geographic location of the user, wherein the orientation diagram of the user is configured to show a position of the geographic location of the user in the map;

the navigation information includes the orientation diagram;

or

generating the navigation information of the user according to the geographic location of user comprises;

generating information of riding route or information of driving route to reach the geographic location according to the geographic location of the user;

wherein the navigation information includes the information of riding route or the information of driving route.

11. A method for providing information, comprising:

obtaining a geographic location of a user;

for each of the user, correspondingly storing a navigation identifier and the geographic location of the each of the user; and

after receiving a surrounding query request, determining the user whose geographic location belongs to a geographic scope specified by the surrounding query request according to the geographic scope and the geographic location of the user who sends the surrounding query request, and then providing the user who sends the surrounding query request with the navigation identifier of the user determined.
