See full text

A system and method for providing information related to geographical sites based on position coordinates of a user information retrieval device. The user information retrieval device includes a positioning system unit, a transmitter, a receiver, and a user interface. The positioning system unit determines the position of the user information retrieval device and the transmitter transmits the position coordinates to a remote computer over a wireless network. A processor in the remote computer gathers information relating to geographical sites within a given distance of the position coordinates of the user information retrieval device. A transmitter in the remote computer transmits the information relating to the geographical sites to the user information retrieval device.
