A system comprising:

• a memory comprising computer instructions;
• a transceiver configured to:
• receive, from a mobile device, a selection of a point of interest category from among a plurality of point of interest categories, and
• transmit point of interest data to the mobile device;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein, when executing the computer instructions, the processor is configured to:
• responsive to receiving the selection of the point of interest category, associate the point of interest category with a plurality of user-selected point of interest categories,
