1. A method comprising:
- receiving, from a first device, a request for categorical information, the request specifying a category;
receiving, from a second device, a collection of shared categorical information;
determining relevant categorical information from the collection, the relevant categorical information comprising categorical data representative of a content item, wherein the categorical data is responsive to the category, and wherein the categorical data includes location information for the content item, wherein the location information satisfies a location-based conditional setting of the first device; and
providing, to the first device, the relevant categorical information for representation as a graphical object at a location in a map on a display, wherein the location corresponds to the location information.

Abstract
A selection of a category of interest and location information is used to determine categorical information that is provided to a device. In some implementations, the device includes a touch-sensitive display and presents the categorical information on a map using an indicator. In some implementations, the categorical information can be shared and/or updated by others.
