Computer implemented methods are disclosed for providing to a user, geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination location. The method includes receiving user input data including at least the destination location, determining a distance between the start location and the destination is equal to or above a pre-determined threshold, and generating and displaying a route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map based on the user input data. The route may include a pin that is movable by the user along the route. The location of the pin may be received and a snap location along the route closest to the drop location may be calculated. The method may include animating movement of the pin from the drop location to snap location, and displaying the geographical mapping information based on the snap location.

Methods and systems for automatically providing point of interest information based on user interaction

Computer implemented methods are disclosed for providing to a user geographical mapping information relating to a trip from a start location to a destination location. One method includes receiving user input data including at least the destination location; receiving a location of a point movable by the user along the route from the start location to the destination location on an electronic map; displaying one or more points of interest within a range of the location of the point; receiving a selection by the user of at least one of the one or more points of interest; generating a modified route from the start location to the destination location which includes the selected at least one of the one or more points interest; and displaying the modified route with the selected at least one of the one or more points interest.
