Abstract: In a method for providing advance notification of convenient purchase points includes receiving user data indicative of user locations while the user was driving, and times when the user was driving at those locations. The method also includes determining, by analyzing the user data, a route that the user is likely to drive and a time when the user is likely to begin driving the route, and identifying one or more entities each having a location proximate to the route. Identifying the entities includes analyzing, for each entity, a current price of a good or service provided by the entity and current prices of goods or services provided by one or more other entities. The method also includes providing, at a notification time that is at or prior to the time when the user is likely to begin driving the route, a notification to a mobile device of the user.
