Abstract
A method of generating a personalised recommendation of points of interest (POIs) for a user involves generating a route between an origin and a destination. A search area of a predetermined size is defined for each of a plurality of waypoints along the route. Personalisation data for the user is obtained from one or more social media websites. The POIs present within each search area are identified and descriptive data relating to attributes of each of the identified POIs is obtained. The POIs in each search area are then ranked based on at least a comparison of the personalisation data and the descriptive data relating to the respective POIs. A subset of the identified POIs is next selected for inclusion in the POI recommendation for each search area based on the determined ranking. A POI recommendation including the selected POIs is then displayed to the user.
