    associated with a user, and over a network, user input data that includes at least a destination location;

    determining, by the device, that a distance between a start location and the destination location is equal to or above a pre-determined distance threshold;

    generating, by the device, a planned route from the start location to the destination location;

    providing, by the device and for display by the electronic device, an electronic map that includes the planned route;

    providing, by the device and for display by the electronic device, and based on determining that the distance is equal to or above the pre-determined distance threshold, a pin icon along the planned route,the pin icon being movable along the planned route,the pin icon being provided for display at an intermediate point along the planned route,the pin icon being provided for display prior to information about a point of interest (POI), of a plurality of POIs, being provided for display on the planned route, andthe pin icon being provided for display prior to travel of the planned route;

    receiving, by the device and from the electronic device, a drop location indicating a location along the planned route at which the pin icon is moved and dropped,the drop location being received prior to travel of the planned route;

    calculating, by the device, a snap location, along the planned route, that is closest to the drop location,the snap location being associated with the POI, andthe snap location being calculated prior to travel of the planned route;

    providing, by the device and for display by the electronic device, animated movement of the pin icon from the drop location to the snap location,the animated movement being provided prior to travel of the planned route; and

    providing, by the device and for display by the electronic device, the geographical mapping information associated with the POI,the information associated with the POI being provided for display prior to travel of the planned route.
