A system is provided for providing location-specific images to a mobile device for display. The system generally comprises three components: a mobile device having a screen, a position identification system (e.g., a GPS receiver) that determines the position of the mobile device, and a database containing location-specific images taken at various locations. Each location-specific image is associated with geographic coordinates of the location at which the image was taken. Based on the position of the mobile device as determined by the position identification system, a location-specific image is selected from the database and displayed on the screen of the mobile device. For example, when a user is using the mobile device as a car navigation system, a location-specific image of the user's destination location can be selected and displayed when the determined position of the mobile device comes within a certain distance from the geographic coordinates of the destination location. |

1. A computer-implemented method of displaying a location-specific image on a mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving, to one or more computer systems and from the mobile device via a wireless communication network, a shopping list that includes one or more items and a location of the mobile device; determining, by the one or more computer systems, a category for at least one item in the shopping list; identifying, by the one or more computer systems, one or more stores based at least in part on (a) the category for the at least one item corresponding to the one or more stores, (b) the one or more stores being a determined distance from the location of the mobile device, and (c) availability of the at least one item at the one or more stores; selecting, by the one or more computer systems, for each of the one or more stores, a respective location-specific image from a plurality of location-specific images; sending, from the one or more computer systems and to the mobile device via the wireless communication network, the respective location-specific image for each of the one or more stores; and providing, by the one or more computer systems for display on the mobile device, the respective location-specific image for each of the one or more stores. |
