Abstract

Described is a technology by which a virtual location marker (e.g., virtual pushpin or similar placeholder) is determined from the results of a query, in which the virtual location marker corresponds to a first coordinate set (e.g., a latitude, longitude and/or altitude of a business location) to represent a point on a map. Various static and dynamic data may be used to select a result deemed most desirable from among multiple query results. The virtual location marker may be output, e.g., plotted on a map and/or used to provide audio directions. Upon detecting a state change, such as a change in current location, and/or a change in direction, speed, time, a start location or an end destination, the virtual location marker may be automatically re-determined, including changing the virtual location marker to correspond to a second, different coordinate set now deemed most desirable in view of the state change.
