To provide directions to structures and sites that provide on-premise parking spaces for one hundred (100) or more vehicles such as golf courses, industrial parks, residential subdivisions, businesses, private schools and areas of interests that are targeted to specific groups of persons who derive major portions of their incomes from such facilities and, as motorists, do not reside in the immediate areas; areas that attract large groups of persons who visit these areas for goods and services; large groups of persons who reside in these areas and, as motorists, derive major portions of their incomes outside of these areas; and large groups of persons who transport goods and services to and from these areas.
