Computer-Implemented System And Method For Generating Waymarks
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system for generating waymarks, comprising:
- a database of waymarks each associated with a category;
a waymark generator to generate a new waymark, comprising;
geospatial data defining a location, metadata describing a physical object associated with the location and at least one photograph of the location;
a compiler to compile the geospatial data, metadata, and photograph as the new waymark; and
a waymark module to assign one of the categories to the new waymark and to add the new waymark to the database; and
a search module to provide a search option for accessing the waymark by at least one of the location and the category.

Abstract
A computer-implemented system and method for generating waymarks is provided. A database of waymarks is maintained. Each waymark is associated with a category. A new waymark is generated. Geospatial data defining a location, metadata describing a physical object associated with the location, and at least one photograph of the location are received from a user. The geospatial data, metadata, and photograph are complied as the new waymark. One of the categories is assigned to the new waymark. The new waymark is added to the database. A search option is provided for accessing the waymark by at least one of the location and category.
