determining a location of the vehicle;
determining the data in the database tagged with location information within a predetermined distance of the determined location of the vehicle, the predetermined distance being user settable;
delivering the data from the remote database to the vehicle based on the determined location of the vehicle and on a burdened state of a driver, wherein the burdened state is determined from a state of a driver and a difficulty of a driving area; and
displaying the delivered data on a display disposed in the vehicle.
2 . The method according to claim 1 ,
further comprising inputting a destination in a navigation system of the vehicle;
determining a route to the destination;
determining the data in the database tagged with location information along the route of the vehicle;
delivering the data to the vehicle based on the route of the vehicle; and
displaying the delivered data on the display located in the vehicle.

uploading data to the database, the uploaded data being tagged with location information.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein
the uploaded data is tagged with a type of display configured to display the uploaded data.
5 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising
the location information for the uploaded data being determined by a navigation system of the vehicle.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitted request is based on a search query input through an interface disposed in the vehicle.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
multiple requests for the data are transmitted from the vehicle, each request being initiated by a different user; and
a location associated with each user request is displayed on a map of a display screen associated with each user such that the location associated with each user is visible on the display screen of each user.
8 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
suggesting a data topic based on past transmitted requests.
9 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
determining a reaction of a user to the displayed data with a sensor disposed in the vehicle; and
suggesting a data topic based on the reaction of the user to the displayed data.
10 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising
transmitting a notification to a creator of the uploaded data to update the uploaded data.
11 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
disposing a plurality of devices in the vehicle; and
selecting the one device of the plurality of device on which to display the delivered data.
12 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the delivered data is superimposed on a map displayed on the display.
13 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising
preventing the delivered data from being displayed based on an estimated alertness level of a driver.
14 . A vehicle data delivery system, comprising:
a remote database configured to store data, the data stored in the database being tagged with location information;
a navigational system disposed in a vehicle and configured to determine a location of the vehicle;
a wireless communication system disposed in the vehicle and configured to transmit requests from the vehicle to the database and to receive data delivered by the database based on the determined location of the vehicle and on a burdened state of a driver, wherein the burdened state is determined from a state of a driver and a difficulty of a driving area, the delivered data tagged with location information within a predetermined distance of the determined location of the vehicle, the predetermined distance being user settable; and
a first display disposed in the vehicle and configured to display the data delivered from the database.
15 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 14 , wherein
a controller disposed in the vehicle and configured to prevent the delivered data from being displayed on the first display based on an estimated alertness level of a driver of the vehicle.
16 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 15 , wherein
the estimated alertness level of the driver of the vehicle is determined based on information detected by a sensor disposed in the vehicle.
17 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 14 , wherein
the first display is a display screen of an in-vehicle infotainment system or a head-mounted display.
18 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 14 , wherein
a second display disposed in the vehicle and configured to display the data delivered from the database, the second display being different from the first display.
19 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 14 , wherein
the delivered data is superimposed on a map displayed on the first display.
20 . The vehicle data delivery system according to claim 19 , wherein
the delivered data is superimposed on a real-world display displayed by the first display.
