ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed of providing geo-relevant information based on a location. A data item is received, the data item originating from a geographic location and comprising at least one component characterized by the geographic location. The data item is geo-coded, wherein the geo-coding includes identifying the at least one component; associating the identified at least one component with a geographic region; determining at least one group of at least two points corresponding to the geographic region, the at least one group of at least two points defining a plane enclosing the geographic region; and augmenting the data item with data representative of the determined at least one group of at least two points defining a plane. Relevant information is determined based on the augmented data item. The relevant is provided information to a user.
