The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to present information relating to an event through the user interface, wherein the at least one advertisement is related to the event and the location. 3. The mobile system according to claim 2, further comprising a user input configured to permit a user to request information relating to the event through the wireless data communication system. 4. The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein said controller is further configured to communicate at least one of the determined location and an itinerary for the mobile system through the wireless data communication system. 5. The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to communicate information dependent on the determined location through the wireless data communication system. 6. The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein the importance is dependent on at least an itinerary of the mobile system. 7. The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to communicate emergency or distress information through the wireless data communication system. 8. The mobile system according to claim 1, further comprising a theft detector, the controller being further configured to communicate theft detection information through the wireless data communication system. 9. The mobile system according to claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to communicate vehicle maintenance or diagnostic information through the wireless data communication system. 10. A mobile system, comprising: (a) a location determining system configured to determine a location of the mobile system;(b) a wireless data communication system comprising a cellular radio transceiver configured to communicate digital data;(c) a user interface configured to interact with a user to at least present navigation information comprising a map display and to define an itinerary of the mobile system comprising a direction of travel; and(d) at least one microprocessor configured to:control the wireless data communication system to receive location-specific information through the wireless data communication system;sort the received location-specific information in order or pertinence, based on at least a proximity of the determined location of the mobile system to a respective location associated with the location-specific information, and an importance associated with the location-specific information to a user determined based on at least the itinerary of the mobile system comprising the direction of travel; andoverlay the received location-specific information on the map display presented through the user interface,wherein the location-specific information comprises advertising information. 11. The mobile system according to claim 10, wherein the location-specific information comprises location-specific dynamically changing travel information. 12. The mobile system according to claim 10, wherein the location-specific information comprises event information and advertising information, a presentation of the advertising information causing an accounting to subsidize the location-specific information. 13. The mobile system according to claim 10, wherein the at least one microprocessor is further configured to interact with a user through the user interface to negotiate a commercial transaction relating to the advertising information with a remote service provider through the wireless data communication link. 14. The mobile system according to claim 13, wherein the commercial transaction is dependent on the determined location of the mobile system. 15. The mobile system according to claim 10, wherein the at least one microprocessor is configured to determine the pertinence as a weighting of the proximity and the importance. 16. The mobile system according to claim 15, wherein the proximity is weighted higher than the importance. 17. A method, comprising: (a) determining a location of a mobile system;(b) providing a user interface system;(c) receiving a plurality of records associated with respective locations through a wireless data communication system, at least one record being associated with an advertisement received through the wireless data communication system;(d) sorting the plurality of records in a priority order dependence on at least: (i) a proximity of the determined location to the respective location associated with a respective record;(ii) a direction of travel of the mobile system, and(iii) information defining an importance of the respective record; and(e) presenting the advertisement and a plurality of records comprising the at least one record associated with the advertisement through the user interface in conjunction with a map based on at least the sorted order. 18. The method according to claim 17, wherein the sorting is further dependent on a spatial-temporal proximity of the respective locations loci of an itinerary. 19. The method according to claim 17, wherein the plurality of records are provided within a subscription-based service, and a presentation of the advertisement subsidizes the subscription-based service by generating advertising revenue. 20. The method according to claim 17, wherein the priority order is further adapted based on a preference of a user.
