Abstract
Systems and methods of using the systems for delivering information related to a remote location to individuals at the remote location are disclosed. The system comprises a memory device affixed to a physical object at the remote location, the information related to the remote location residing on the memory device, and a portable memory reading device, separate from the memory device, that retrieves the information from the memory device when positioned at the remote location and communicates the information to a party located at the remote location. The system may further comprise a database wherein the information residing on the memory device is replicated and the database can be accessed by a user of the system via a suitable communications medium or combination of mediums. The system may also comprise a portable memory reading device having a GPS receiver positioned at a remote location and a database, such that the GPS coordinates of the remote location are determined by the portable memory reading device and communicated to the database over a communications link, and the database communicates the information related to the remote location back to the portable memory reading device over the communications link.
