Abstract
A method and apparatus for obtaining Directory Assistance, and/or driving directions based on a limited geographical area defined by the present location of a wireless user, or a wire-line user, or a location specified by either of these users. A section of a location oriented database associated with that location is searched for names or categories of customers meeting the criteria offered by the caller. If an appropriate destination can be found, a telephone number is supplied and a connection is established, or driving directions are provided for going from the present location of the caller to the destination location. Advantageously, driving directions may be obtained even when the called party's name is very common, and the caller does not know the address, even if the caller is in an unfamiliar area.
