1. A system for providing directional guidance to a driver of goods to a destination location, said system comprising:
- a data repository configured to store historical positional locations of delivery drivers who previously delivered goods to a destination location, the positional locations being based on geographic coordinates from electronic devices carried by vehicles used to make the deliveries;
a processing unit configured to;
receive a destination location;
access said data repository to identify historical positional locations associated with the destination location;
communicate at least a portion of the historical positional locations to a mapping application being executed by an electronic device of a delivery driver, at least a portion of the historical positional locations causing the mapping application to display the historical positional locations on a map to provide driving directions for the delivery driver.

Abstract
A system and method for providing a listing service for farmers in rural areas. A farmer may be able to “drop a pin” on an interactive map to a location, such as a barn, to where supplies may be delivered by a delivery driver. By providing such a map, natural barriers to entry into a marketplace may be broken down for suppliers, thereby enabling a marketplace to expand with suppliers.
