Abstract
A map application is provided that allows a user to view and query the location data associated with the contacts of the user. The location data of a contact may include locations of where the contact has been, along with a time when the contact was at each location. The user can use the map application to view the location data of selected users or groups of users. The user can further generate a query, and the map application can determine locations from the location data of the contacts that are related to the generated query. In this way, the user can search for locations such as businesses and landmarks that were visited by their contacts, and can view the locations on a map.
