Map service method and system of providing target contents based on location

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing program code for controlling a computer system to, when executed, implement a map service method, the method comprising:

• identifying, by a processor, a position of a pointer associated with a user device, the pointer indicating a position of the user device on a map;
• providing, by the processor, a spot finder in response to the position of the pointer, the spot finder having a desired radius based on the position of the pointer;
• and
• providing, by the processor, a plurality of target contents in the desired radius in real-time, the target contents corresponding to at least one location within the desired radius, the target contents presented to the user in a list that is sorted based on at least one category of the target contents and a distance of the location from the position of the pointer.

A map service server, the server comprising:

• a processor configured to execute a query identifier to identify a pointer associated with a user device, the pointer indicating a position of the user device on a map;
• and
• the processor configured to execute a spot finder provider to
• provide a spot finder in response to a position of the pointer, the spot finder having a desired radius based on the position of the pointer, and
• provide a plurality of target contents in the desired radius in real-time, the target contents corresponding to at least one location within the desired radius, the target contents presented to the user in a list that is sorted based on at least one category of the target contents and a distance of the location from the position of the pointer.
