More particularly, digital representations of redeemable commercial objects, such as coupons, promotional offers, discounts, vouchers, gift certificates, etc., can be displayed in conjunction with the geographic imagery. The commercial objects are redeemable at entities depicted in the geographic imagery, such as businesses, restaurants, retail outlets, coffee shops, bars, music venues, etc., depicted in the geographic imagery.
