1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
receiving a communication from an access device, the communication including;
a request for travel-related information, the travel-related information being associated with a location of the access device at a time the communication was initiated;
a code to identify the communication as a request for access to a database containing the travel-related information; and
information that identifies the access device;
determining whether the access device is entitled to receive the travel-related information based on subscriber information associated with the access device;
responsive to determining that the access device is entitled to receive the travel-related information;
prompting the access device for selection of a method to determine the location of the access device, wherein the location of the access device is determined according to the selected method, over a range of times, and wherein a direction of travel of the access device is determined by extrapolating the location of the access device over the range of times; and
sending the travel-related information, including data related to the determined location of the access device and the determined direction of travel of the access device, to the access device,wherein the travel-related information comprises content including weather related to the determined location of the access device and weather related to the determined direction of travel of the access device.
