Abstract
A system and method includes receiving a search query for a product to be located in a retail store, obtaining a store map, the store map being indicative of a layout of the retail store, providing one or more search results as a list to the mobile device, each of the one or more search results being associated with a physical location of the product in the retail store, present the store map overlaid with an icon on a graphical display of the mobile device, and changing a location on the store map of the icon to another icon as the customer scrolls the search results displayed on the mobile device, updating the store map by panning/zooming to the changed location on the store map, and providing the changed location of the icon to the physical location on the store map of the currently scrolled to, top-most, product to the mobile device for display.
