Methods and systems for providing dynamic point of interest information and trip planning
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for providing to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination location, the method including:
- receiving, from a user'"'"'s electronic device and over a network, user input data including at least the destination location;
generating and displaying a route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map based on the user input data, the generated route having a movable icon movable by the user to any location on the generated route;
receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, by the user dragging the movable icon along the generated route, an indicated location of the movable icon on the generated route;
determining a selected location as a location of a highway exit located closest to the indicated location of the movable icon, the selected location being different from the indicated location;
determining and displaying on the electronic map, one or more points of interest within a received range of the selected location of the movable icon along the generated route;
receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest;
generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and
displaying, on the user'"'"'s electronic device, the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest as one or more stops along the modified route,wherein the start location is determined based on the location of the user'"'"'s electronic device.

Abstract
Computer implemented methods are disclosed for providing to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination location. One method includes receiving user input data including at least the destination location; receiving a location of a point movable by the user along the route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map; displaying one or more points of interest within a range of the location of the point; receiving a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest; generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and displaying the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest.

1. A computer-implemented method for providing to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination location, the method including:
-
receiving, from a user'"'"'s electronic device and over a network, user input data including at least the destination location; generating and displaying a route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map based on the user input data, the generated route having a movable icon movable by the user to any location on the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, by the user dragging the movable icon along the generated route, an indicated location of the movable icon on the generated route; determining a selected location as a location of a highway exit located closest to the indicated location of the movable icon, the selected location being different from the indicated location; determining and displaying on the electronic map, one or more points of interest within a received range of the selected location of the movable icon along the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest; generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and displaying, on the user'"'"'s electronic device, the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest as one or more stops along the modified route, wherein the start location is determined based on the location of the user'"'"'s electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for providing to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination, the system including:
-
one or more processors forming a central processing unit (CPU) complex configured to execute an operating system in the system, wherein the one or more processors each comprise hardware configured to execute instructions included in the operating system; and a data storage device storing instructions for causing one or more processors to provide to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination;
the one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform a method of;receiving, from a user'"'"'s electronic device and over a network, user input data including at least the destination location; generating and displaying a route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map based on the user input data, the generated route having a movable icon movable by the user to any location on the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, by the user dragging the movable icon along the generated route, an indicated location of the movable icon on the generated route; determining a selected location as a location of a highway exit located closest to the indicated location of the movable icon, the selected location being different from the indicated location; determining and displaying on the electronic map, the one or more points of interest within a received range of the selected location of the movable icon along the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest; generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and displaying, on the user'"'"'s electronic device, the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest as one or more stops along the modified route, wherein the start location is determined based on the location of the user'"'"'s electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing an information processing program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to provide geographical mapping information to a user relating to a trip from a start location to a destination, the method including:
-
receiving, from a user'"'"'s electronic device and over a network, user input data including at least the destination location; generating and displaying a route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map based on the user input data, the generated route having a movable icon movable by the user to any location on the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, by the user dragging the movable icon along the generated route, an indicated location of the movable icon on the generated route; determining a selected location as a location of a highway exit located closest to the indicated location of the movable icon, the selected location being different from the indicated location; determining and displaying on the electronic map, one or more points of interest within a received range of the selected location of the movable icon along the generated route; receiving, from the user'"'"'s electronic device, a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest; generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and displaying, on the user'"'"'s electronic device, the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest as one or more stops along the modified route, wherein the start location is determined based on the location of the user'"'"'s electronic device.
