Abstract: To facilitate the processing of commercial transactions, the system may be utilized to collect and store data related to product information, buyer information and seller information. A system is provided that collects and stores data from different sources (individual or company) and associates all or part of the data collected from the input of a single source with an identifier. The system, upon receipt of an identifier provided by a requester (software, person, system), can then provide the data associated with the identifier to the requester in a specific format or a format that will allow the requester to process the associated data.

Abstract: A system is provided that collects and stores data from different sources, such as individuals or companies, and associates all or part of the data collected from the input of a single source with an identifier. The system, upon receipt of an identifier provided by a requester, including, but not limited to, software, person, system, may then provide the data associated with the identifier to the requester in a specific format or a format that will allow the requester to process the associated data, which may include storing the associated data in a data management program and/or updating the associated data.

Abstract: The invention provides for a system capable of interfacing with a navigation system to provide the navigation system with the capability of generation routing information from the input of data that is not recognizable by the navigation system. The system receives data unrecognizable by the navigation system, which may be associated with at least one geographic identifier. The system is further capable of using the unrecognizable data to obtain additional data associated with the at least one geographic identifier associated with the unrecognizable data. The system then provides the additional data to the navigation system in a format recognizable by the navigation system.

Abstract: The invention provides for a method to identify particular geographic locations by means other than the postal address for use in navigation system and navigation, routing and mapping programs. The method may be the assignment of a series of numbers, symbols or characters, or a combination thereof, to a particular entity, location or address within a defined parameter. The invention further provides for a system for generating routing information that has the ability to receive a location code and provide routing information associated with the location code. Such a system may be employed in hardware, software or in a combination of both hardware and software.
