1. A method comprising:
rendering on a display device a first region configured to allow input to determine a marked location and to access information related to the marked location;
rendering on the display device a second region configured to allow input to present descriptive information related to the marked location;
rendering on the display device a third region configured to allow input to present a map related to the marked location; and
rendering on the display device a fourth region configured to allow input to present events related to the marked location,
wherein the first, second, third, and fourth regions comprise a graphical user interface.
2. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to a user selecting a region of the graphical user interface, expanding an area of the selected region on the display device and reducing an area of each of the other regions of the graphical user interface on the display device.
3. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:
presenting a list of related locations in response to a user selecting a location presented in the first region; and
highlighting a related location in the list of related locations to indicate importance of the related location.
4. An apparatus comprising
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
render on a display device a first region configured to allow input to determine a marked location and to access information related to the marked location;
render on the display device a second region configured to allow input to present descriptive information related to the marked location;
render on the display device a third region configured to allow input to present a map related to the marked location; and
render on the display device a fourth region configured to allow input to present events related to the marked location,
wherein the first, second, third, and fourth regions comprise a graphical user interface.
5. An apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the computer program code is configured to cause the apparatus to:
in response to a user selecting a region of the graphical user interface, expand an area of the selected region on the display device, and reduce an area of each of the other regions of the graphical user interface on the display device.
6. An apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the computer program code is configured to cause the apparatus to:
present a list of related locations in response to a user selecting a location presented in the first region; and
highlight a related location in the list of related locations to indicate importance of the related location.
