Abstract
A system receives a preference of a user, wherein the preference relates to a product or service located in a first geographic location, and then the system receives an identification of a second geographic location. The system analyzes, based on the preference of the user, a database to identify candidate products or services in the second geographic location. The system then determines, from the candidate products or services, an equivalent product or service at least in part by comparison of the candidate products or services to the preference of the user. The system transmits to the user an identification of the equivalent product or service located in the second geographic location.
