• transmitting, to a second device, an indication of the current location;
• transmitting, to the second device, an indication of criteria for pushpin data;
• receiving, from the second device, pushpin data, the pushpin data indicating at least one pushpin location and meeting the criteria;
• and
• displaying, by the device, pushpin information on a display based on the received pushpin data.

An apparatus for downloading pushpin data, comprising one or more processors configured to:

• receive, from an electronic network, an indication of a current segment, the current segment comprising geographically related data for a current location of a device, the current segment corresponding to a portion of geographically related content displayed on the device;
• receive pushpin criteria for the device;
• identify pushpin data based on the current segment and the pushpin criteria, the pushpin data indicating a pushpin location;
• and
• transmit, on the electronic network, the pushpin data.
