Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for delivering location-based services. The services may include aggregating data indicating a plurality of geographical locations, attributes associated with the geographical locations, and items of content associated with the geographical locations. A current location of an electronic device is obtained and analytics are performed on the aggregate data to select one or more particular geographical locations, wherein the analytics can consider, for example, proximity of the current location of the electronic facility to the geographical locations and the attributes associated with the geographical locations. Items of content stored in the aggregated data and associated with the selected geographical locations are output at a user interface associated with a web or application resource operating on the electronic facility.
