A request is received at a server computer to provide the electronic map to utilize in connection with the augmented reality world. A geolocation is received. Real-world locations in a vicinity are queried from a real-world location profile. A virtual location profile of virtual locations in the augmented reality world is accessed to generate an initial virtual location set. A participant preference profile containing virtual preferences and real-world preferences is accessed. Real-time participant data is accessed. The virtual locations in the initial virtual location set are prioritized to generate a prioritized virtual location set. The prioritized virtual location set is limited based upon the real-time participant data to generate a real-time prioritized location set. The electronic map is generated based upon the real-time prioritized location set, and transmitted. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of providing to a user-computing device an electronic map displaying one or more preferred real-world locations to utilize in connection with an augmented reality world, the method comprising: Receiving a request at a server computer to provide an electronic map displaying one or more preferred real-world locations to utilize in connection with an augmented reality world;
