`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`[0003]
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`
`[0004] The invention relates to management of map data
`and geographically related content on an electronic device.
`In addition, the invention relates to sending and receiving
`map data from and to a mobile electronic device.
`
`[0005]
`
`2. Description of the Related Technology
`
`[0006] A variety of electronic devices, such as mobile
`computers, mobile wireless telephones, global positioning
`system (GPS) units, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or
`automobile navigation systems, may provide map display
`and storage capabilities. In addition, some electronic devices
`also include software for storing address books, email,
`Internet browsing, or other applications that generate or
`organize map data and geographically related content. The
`term “geographically related content” may refer to any
`information, e.g., related to a person, place, or object, that
`has associated geographic references. A “geographic refer-
`ence” may include a street address, city, zipcode, postal
`code, municipality, region, county, state, province, country,
`coordinate, latitude, longitude, pseudo-coordinate or geo-
`graphic indeX number.
`
`[0007] However, a need eXists for improved systems and
`methods of integrating between the map and geographically
`related content display and storage capabilities of these
`devices and other software on the devices. Moreover, a need
`eXists for improved systems and methods of communicating,
`or downloading, map data and geographically related con-
`tent to and from such devices.
`
`SUMMARY OF CERTAIN INVENTIVE
`ASPECTS
`
`[0008] The system, method, and devices of the invention
`each have several aspects, no single one of which is solely
`responsible for its desirable attributes. Without limiting the
`scope of this invention, some of its more prominent features
`will now be discussed briefly. After considering this discus-
`sion, and particularly after reading the section entitled
`“Detailed Description of Certain Inventive Embodiments”
`
`one will understand how the features of this invention
`
`provide advantages that include sharing of geographically
`related data.
`
`[0009] One embodiment is a method of processing geo-
`graphically referenced content comprising geographical
`coordinate data in a portable computing device. The method
`includes receiving, from a first source, geographically ref-
`erenced content comprising geographic coordinate data. The
`method further includes receiving a geographic map from a
`second source. The method further includes storing the
`received geographically referenced content in a first portion
`the data storage. The method further includes storing the
`geographical map in a second portion of the data storage.
`The method further includes retrieving the geographical map
`from the second portion of the data storage based at least in
`part on a geographical indeX of the geographical map. The
`method further includes retrieving geographically refer-
`enced content from the first portion of the data storage based
`at least in part on a geographical indeX of the geographically
`referenced content. The method further includes displaying
`the geographical map on a visual display. The method
`further includes displaying an icon on the displayed geo-
`graphical map. The location of the icon on the geographical
`map corresponds to the geographical coordinate data of the
`retrieved geographically referenced content.
`
`[0010] Another embodiment includes a system for pro-
`cessing geographically referenced content. The system
`includes means for receiving, from a first source, geographi-
`cally referenced content comprising geographic coordinate
`data. The system further includes means for receiving a
`geographic map from a second source. The system further
`includes means for storing the received geographically ref-
`erenced content. The system further includes means storing
`the geographical map. The system further includes means
`for retrieving the geographical map from the second portion
`of the storing means based at least in part on a geographical
`indeX of the geographical map. The system further includes
`means for retrieving geographically referenced content from
`the storing means based at least in part on a geographical
`indeX of the geographically referenced content. The system
`further includes means for displaying the geographical map
`and displaying an icon on the displayed geographical map.
`The location of the icon on the geographical map corre-
`sponds to the geographical coordinate data of the retrieved
`geographically referenced content.
`
`[0011] Another embodiment includes a system for pro-
`cessing geographically referenced content. The system
`includes at least one transceiver configured to receive, from
`a first source, geographically referenced content comprising
`geographic coordinate data and receive a geographic map
`from a second source. The system further includes at least
`one storage configured to store the received geographically
`referenced content and store the geographical map. The
`system further includes a processor configured to retrieve
`the geographical map from the second portion of the storage
`based at
`least
`in part on a geographical
`indeX of the
`geographical map, and retrieve geographically referenced
`content from the storage based at least in part on a geo-
`graphical indeX of the geographically referenced content.
`The system further includes a display configured to display
`the geographical map and to display an icon on the displayed
`geographical map. The location of the icon on the geo-

`
`graphical map corresponds to the geographical coordinate
`data of the retrieved geographically referenced content.
`
`[0012] Another embodiment includes a method of sharing
`geographically referenced content. The method includes
`receiving geographically referenced content from a first
`mobile electronic device for a second mobile electronic
`device. Each of the first and second mobile electronic
`
`devices comprises a wireless communications transceiver.
`The method further includes sending data identifying the
`received geographically referenced content to the second
`mobile electronic device. The method further includes pro-
`cessing a request from the second mobile electronic device
