Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of providing navigational instructions, the method comprising: receiving, by a server, a search query for locations and a navigational status of a secondary device from a client device, wherein the client device is operatively connected to the secondary device via an information sharing link, and wherein the client device includes a graphical user interface, the secondary device corresponding to a location-aware device separate from the client device; performing, by the server, a search using the search query and the navigational status of the secondary device to obtain one or more locations corresponding to the search query; sending, by the server, the one or more locations corresponding to the search query and the navigational status of the secondary device to the client device for display on the graphical user interface; receiving, by the server, an indication of a selected location from the client device, wherein the selected location corresponds to one of the one or more locations corresponding to the search query; calculating, by the server, navigation instructions for the secondary device to navigate to the selected location; and sending, by the server, the navigational instructions for the secondary device to the client device, and a request for the client device to forward the navigation instructions to the secondary device, wherein the secondary device receives from the client device the navigational instructions via the information sharing link.
