The query includes an identifier of the selected search category and a location identifier. A search for elements associated with the selected category are is performed. A geographical area is defined using the location identifier and a determination is made as to which elements are within the geographical area. The elements that are within the geographical area are then sent to the user terminal. The elements may contain information on establishments such addresses and contact information together with a distance from a central position.
