Organizing places of interest in-flight

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising a set of instructions executable by an aircraft server to control a presentation via an aircraft passenger display, the instructions comprising, to:

• receive, from a mapping server, an airline-specific dataset comprising a plurality of location records, wherein each location record comprises a point of interest (POI) and a unique rank, wherein the POI is defined by unique geographic identifier, wherein the plurality of location records includes at least one location record comprising metadata including one or more internet hyperlinks related to a POI, wherein the mapping server receives a global location dataset and airline service-region data from at least one airline route and destination server and generates the airline-specific dataset by correlating a plurality of routes of the airline service-region data with POIs of a portion of the global location dataset;
• based on results collected via a survey of two or more passengers while in-flight travelling on a same flight on an instant route, generate, while still in-flight, a revised unique rank for at least one of the plurality of location records, wherein the instant route includes a flight departure location and a flight arrival location;
• determine a current position of the aircraft;
• and
• based on the current position and based on the revised unique rank of each of the plurality of location records, control, at the display, the presentation of a map and a plurality of POI indicators associated with a highly-ranked subset of the plurality of location records.

A method, comprising:

• providing for installation, on a mapping server, a first set of computer-executable instructions, comprising to:
• receive a global location dataset, comprising a first plurality of location records, wherein each of the first plurality of location records comprises a point of interest (POI) and a unique rank, wherein the POI is defined by unique geographic identifier, wherein the first plurality of location records includes at least one location record comprising metadata including one or more internet hyperlinks related to a POI;
• receive airline service-region data from at least one airline route and destination server;
• and
• generate an airline-specific dataset by correlating a plurality of routes of the airline service-region data with POIs of a portion of the global location dataset;
• and
• providing for installation, on an aircraft server, a second set of computer-executable instructions, comprising to:
• receive the airline-specific dataset;
• based on results collected via a survey of two or more passengers while in-flight travelling on a same flight on an instant route, generate, while still in-flight, a revised unique rank for at least one of the plurality of location records, wherein the instant route includes a flight departure location and a flight arrival location;
• determine a current position of the aircraft;
• and
• based on the current position and based on the revised unique rank of each of the plurality of location records, controlling, at an aircraft passenger display, a presentation of a map and a plurality of POI indicators, wherein each of the plurality of POI indicators is associated with a highly-ranked location record.

A system, comprising:

• a plurality of displays;
• and
• an aircraft server, communicatively linked to the plurality of displays, and programmed to:
• receive, from a mapping server, an airline-specific dataset comprising a plurality of location records, wherein each location record comprises a point of interest (POI) and a unique rank, wherein the POI is defined by unique geographic identifier, wherein the plurality of location records includes at least one location record comprising metadata including one or more internet hyperlinks related to a POI, wherein the mapping server receives a global location dataset and airline service-region data from at least one airline route and destination server and generates the airline-specific dataset by correlating a plurality of routes of the airline service-region data with POIs of a portion of the global location dataset;
• based on results collected via a survey of two or more passengers while in-flight travelling on a same flight on an instant route, generate, while still in-flight, a revised unique rank for at least one of the plurality of location records, wherein the instant route includes a flight departure location and a flight arrival location;
• determine a current position of an aircraft;
• based on the current position and based on the revised unique rank of each of the plurality of location records, provide to the plurality of displays, a map and a plurality of POI indicators associated with a highly-ranked subset of the plurality of location records.
