1. A mobile client system, comprising:
at least one processor for determining location information of the mobile client system, wherein said determined location information comprises one or both of a current location information of the mobile client system and/or a location information designated by a user of the mobile client system, wherein the mobile client system communicates said determined location information to a processing system, wherein the mobile client system receives from said processing system travel related data based, at least in part, on location information communicated by at least one of a plurality of other mobile client systems and on said determined location information of the mobile client system, wherein the mobile client system enables communication of at least a portion of said received travel related data to said at least one of said plurality of other mobile client systems based on a set of permissions that is assigned to the mobile client system such that the mobile client system and said processing system cannot communicate at least said portion of said received travel related data to said at least one of said plurality of other mobile client systems without prior authorization by the mobile client system, and wherein said at least one of said plurality of other mobile client systems is pre-authorized before said at least one of said plurality of other mobile client systems issues a request for said at least said portion of said received travel related data.
