Abstract:
1. A method for generating directions for traveling from a first service location to at least a second service location, comprising: obtaining through a server at least one set of “from” coordinates associated with the first service location; obtaining through the server at least one set of “to” coordinates associated with the second service location, wherein the at least one set of “to” coordinates associated with the second service location was previously obtained and saved by the server wherein the server previously requested the at least one set of “to” coordinates associated with the second service location from a service technician during a previous visit to the second service location, the server requesting the at least one set of “to” coordinates after the server determined that no “to” coordinates associated with the second service location were on record and that the service technician was visiting the second service location during the previous visit; transmitting the “from” and “to” coordinates to a mapping system; and receiving directions from the mapping system based on the “to” and the “from” coordinates.
