Abstract
A method for obtaining directions to fixed location such as a restaurant includes using a telephone to call a 411 directory, and providing a prompt to the caller during the 411 call to push a button on the telephone to download the GPS location of the restaurant. The GPS information is transferred from the telephone to a navigation module in a vehicle which displays a map showing the route to the restaurant. Or, the GPS location may be obtained from an Internet server associated with the fixed location.
