ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing a graphical user interface (GUI) with a linear map component. A database that includes data representing transportation segments and point of interest (POI) features is employed. Once the desired location is determined, the data relating to it is extracted from the database and presented to the user in a GUI in which individual transportation segments along the predetermined route or projected path of travel are shown in a linear format. The linear formatted segments are oriented vertically in the map display or printout in order to easily accommodate the display of textual information and/or links associated with POIs along the path of travel. Further information is displayed pursuant to user selection of links or icons in the main GUI screen.
