An apparatus and method for providing general directions and supplementary information over a network that accesses a database (416) and a map server (414). The map server (414) provides general directions, maps, and geocode information. The database (416) provides supplementary information such as a name of the building, a place to park, an elevator to take, a certain floor to meet on, and a particular person to meet. Each destination point (412) includes customized supplementary information that provides specific direction relating to the destination point (412). The supplementary information can be unique to each particular business. The database (416) can be updated by the user independent of updates to the map server (414). Combining the map server (414) with the database (416) allows a user to obtain specific door to door directions.
