Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a server computer having travel information; a client computer, having a cursor moving element, and an actuator that is actuated to select a current position of said cursor moving element, said client computer connected to said server computer over a network, and running a server interfacing program, which exchanges information with said server, said server interfacing program operating to produce a graphical user interface that allows entry of a desired starting area for travel, and a desired ending area for said travel, said graphical user interface displaying a map of an area within which the travel will occur, and allowing said starting area for said travel to be selected within said area by using said cursor moving element to place a cursor of the graphical user interface over said starting area, and actuating said actuator to select said starting area, and allowing said ending area for said travel to be selected by using said cursor moving element to place the cursor of the graphical user interface over said ending area, and actuating the actuator to indicate said end area, said server interfacing program receiving said starting area, and said ending area, sending first travel information about both said starting area and said ending area to said server, and receiving travel information from said server indicative of travel options between the selected starting area and ending area, wherein said server interfacing program further allows at least one of said starting area or said ending area to be changed in size to form a changed in size area, by using said cursor moving element to change a size of said at least one, and wherein said first travel information includes information about said changed in size area, and said travel information received from said server includes options for different locations within said changed in size area.
