Location based tracking
Location information is used to build a database of locations having associated audio, video, image, or text data. In some implementations, a device includes a touch-sensitive display and collects data associated with a geographic location of interest. The geographic location of interest can be displayed on a map using an indicator. A touch selection of the indicator provides access to the data through an interface displayed on the touch-sensitive display. One or more locations of interest can be displayed and grouped together by an attribute.

receiving, at the mobile device, a selection of second data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the second selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
associating the second selected data with data representing the second geographic location; and
storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the second selected data.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , the operations
comprising:
displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the second geographic location.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , the operations
comprising:
displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the second geographic location;
receiving a selection of one of the two indicators; and
displaying, on the mobile device, the selected data as associated with the selected indicator.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operations
comprising:
communicating, to a device external of the mobile device, the selected data and the data representing the association of the geographic location and the selected data.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , the operations
comprising:
capturing data by an input facility of the mobile device, wherein the selected data includes the captured data.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the
input facility includes at least one of a camera, a microphone, and a touchscreen display.
15. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes operations comprising:
displaying a map of a geographic region in a user interface of a mobile device;
receiving, from a location system of the mobile device, data representing a geographic location of the mobile device;
displaying, in association with the map displayed on the mobile device, an indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of the displayed indicator representing the geographic location of the mobile device;
receiving, at the mobile device, user input representing a selection of data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
associating the selected data with the data representing the geographic location; and
storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the selected data.
16. The system of claim 15 , the operations comprising:
receiving, at the mobile device, input selecting a second geographic location;
receiving, at the mobile device, a selection of second data stored on data storage of the mobile device, wherein the second selected data includes text, images, audio or video;
associating the second selected data with data representing the second geographic location; and
storing, on the mobile device, data representing the association of the geographic location and the second selected data.
17. The system of claim 16 , the operations comprising:
