1. A method of providing wireless telecommunication services, the method comprising:
- a mobile device detecting a command to create a set of point of interest categories;
the mobile device generating an interface that solicits a user-defined name for the set of point of interest categories;
the mobile device detecting entry by a user of the user-defined name for the set of point of interest categories and associating the user-defined name with the set of point of interest categories;
the mobile device, responsive to detecting entry by the user of the user-defined name for the set of point of interest categories, generating a list of point of interest categories;
the mobile device detecting a selection of a first point of interest category from the list of point of interest categories; and
responsive to detecting the selection of the first point of interest category, associating the first point of interest category with the set of point of interest categories.

Abstract
A system and associated method receives a command from a user'"'"'s mobile device to locate points of interest near the mobile device'"'"'s location. The points of interest are associated with different, user-identified, point of interest categories. Based at least in part on the mobile device'"'"'s location, the system substantially simultaneously provides a list of points of interest for at least some of the point of interest categories.
