In some embodiments, the common display area is a unified display area to display different types of data. The different types of data can include information regarding the location, multimedia associated with the location, user feedback regarding the location, a catalog associated with the location, social network data, etc. In some embodiments, the unified common display area is also referred to as a place card because it presents data relating to a place. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile device comprising: a memory storing location data relating to a location; and processing circuitry configured to: generate a common place card representing the location, the common place card comprising at least a portion of the location data, wherein the common place card is configured to be selectively rendered in a first application and a second application different from the first application; and render the common place card in the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first application, the second application, or both comprise a calendar application. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to create a new calendar event based on the location. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to edit an existing calendar event based on the location. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The mobile device of claim 2, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to search a local cache for data relating to the location associated with the common place card. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The mobile device of claim 5, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to retrieve the data relating to the location in response to determining that the data relating to the location is not located in the local cache. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The mobile device of claim 5, wherein the first application, the second application, or both comprise a maps application. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to transition to a three-dimensional flyover map based on the location. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to transition to a navigation mode based on the location. ### Claim 10 A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to: retrieve location data from a memory device; generate a common place card representing a location corresponding to the location data, the common place card comprising at least a portion of the location data, wherein the common place card is configured to be selectively rendered in a first application and a second application different from the first application; and render the common place card in the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 10, wherein the first application, the second application, or both comprise a calendar application. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 10, comprising computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more computers to create a new calendar event based on the location, via the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 10, comprising computer-implemented instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more computers to modify an existing calendar event based on the location, via the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 10, comprising computer-implemented instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more computers to search a local cache for data relating to the location associated with the common place card, via the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 14, comprising computer-implemented instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more computers to retrieve the data relating to the location in response to determining that the data relating to the location is not stored in the local cache, via the first application, the second application, or both. ### Claim 16 A mobile device comprising: processing circuitry; memory, storing a shared local cache accessible by a plurality of applications executed by the processing circuitry; and a storage device storing a first application for execution by the processing circuitry, wherein the first application uses a common place card displayable by the first application and a second application to display data relating to a location, wherein the common place card is populated with the data via the shared local cache. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the first application, the second application, or both comprise a calendar application. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to create a new calendar event based on the location. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to edit an existing calendar event based on the location. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The mobile device of claim 16, wherein the first application, the second application, or both are configured to search a local cache for data relating to the location associated with the common place card.
