Abstract
Abstract Method for transmission of information to the user, in which a search terminal (1) is used for sending an information query, which is received and processed. Further in the method, information is searched for, and the retrieved information is transmitted to the search terminal (1). The information is received and displayed to the user by the search terminal (1). A system for transmitting information to a user comprises a search terminal (1) for sending an information query, means (3, 4, 4', 4'') for receiving and processing of the information query, means (3, 4, 4', 4'') for retrieving information, means (2) for transmitting the information to the search terminal (1), and means (1) for receiving the information and presenting it to the user on the search terminal (1), The information retrieval is arranged to be conducted at least partly on the basis of the location and/or travel route of the user.
