Abstract:
Many users may plan meetings through social networks, email, and/or websites. As provided herein, a user may efficiently plan a meeting with other users through a map interface. For example, the user may identify a location of interest on a map, and choose one or more target users to receive an automatically generated location of interest message about meeting at the location of interest. The location of interest message may comprise text describing the location of interest (e.g., I am at the back table at the Steak Grill, I am near the library sign on the corner of West St. and East St., etc.), directions to an event at the location of interest, instructions about the event, a location of the event, a time of the event, etc.
