In recent years, due to the development of wireless transmission
technology, the raise of mobile device use, and as well as the
constantly growing numbers of the worldwide tourists, many national
authorities highly concern the local tourism business and begin to find
ways of how to make every tourists sufficiently realized the features
of the sightseeing spot.
Under such trends, the application of Mobile GIS related in tourism gradually becomes more and more important.
In the early 2009, SuperGeo Technologies will launch the tourism guide system, SuperGIS Mobile Tour, which is developed by mobile GIS component product - SuperGIS Mobile Engine 3.0. It combines GPS navigation and various GIS functions including spatial information browsing, querying and so on. We have introduced how to develop the mobile tourism system using SuperGIS Mobile Engine in the Featured Article on past October http://www.supergeotek.com/Library_1_200810.aspx. Furthermore, in order to increase the facilitation and improve the utilization efficiency for users to set the required files for navigation and other settings in an easiest way, SueprGIS Mobile Tour also provides the managing program at the desktop end, so that users can use it to set the data based on requirements. For example, basic map display, multi-media file of sightseeing spot data (including photo, text description, and video), language of operating interface and basic UI and so forth. Next, upload these settings from PC end to the mobile device. After the settings loaded to the mobile device, the entire tourism guide system will automatically install to the mobile device. The navigation function:
1. Support for near-by sightseeing spot searching and querying.
2. Provide active narration for the features of the sightseeing spot with photos, texts and audio files.
3. Provide managing tools to help building tour itinerary quickly.
4. Display the direction and distance of the next sightseeing spot on the map.
5. Provide detected whether tourists deviating the itinerary or approaching to any dangerous area function.
6. Receive GPS signal and show the current position of the tourist and offer the guide to other sightseeing spots.
7. Provide GPS status inquiry in graphic or text interface.
In addition, the SuperGIS Mobile Tour is constructed based on the SuperGIS Mobile Engine, which powerful developing capability will by then satisfy developers' need and create an exclusively customized tourism system for different sightseeing spot. To general users or managers who have little knowledge about program coding, the functions provided by SuperGIS Mobile Tour are enough to meet most of their demands. They only need to upload the related information of the sightseeing spot mentioned above to the mobile device through PC end and accomplish the settings from managing program at the desktop end. The last thing is to bring a joyful heart with you and let the tourism system lead you as your personal exclusive guide to experience this wonderful world.
