A network adapted to target an individual operating a microcomputer that
is linked to an Internet to offer this individual goods or services
appropriate to his needs that are available at a place within reach of
the individual's present location. The microcomputer is provided with a
GPS receiver that indicates the present location of the individual, this
location and the identity of the individual being transmitted from the
microcomputer to a web site on the highway. At the web site, a computer
associated with a data bank storing the profiles of a multitude of
consumers is programmed to find out whether the identified individual is
included in the data bank, and to determine from his profile whether
there are available at a place reachable from his present location
appropriate goods or services. If a match is found, an offer to supply
such goods or services is conveyed from the web site to the
microcomputer.
