Geolocalized information distribution systems and methods

Abstract

A method of providing published articles linked to geographical locations, the method including the steps of providing to a user a graphical user interface including a representation of a geographic area, providing selectable identifications of one or more remotely published articles relating to locations within the geographic area, receiving a selection of the one or more remotely published articles, facilitating transmission of the one or more remotely published articles to computer-readable memory, and facilitating display of the one or more remotely published articles.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A mobile electronics device, comprising:
 an electronic location device to determine the current location of the device;   a display configured to display a representation of a geographic area, the representation including a nautical chart of a body of water; and   a receiver to receive an identification of a conventionally published article, the contents of which relate to a location within the geographic area and to display such identification.
