Tourist maps of Munich
In tourism
research tracking the mobility of tourists is of immense importance. The
spatial and temporal activities though being collected through some methods
the data that is available is not accurate and also not a valid one. In the
field of digital tracking technologies the developments that took place
enabled in producing a wide range of systems as land based tracking,
satellite navigation and some hybrid systems. Travelblog is a mobile tourist
application that utilizes a weblog system. Web based travel blogs describing
the pictures, videos are created in post visiting information. The
information that is captured via a mobile prototype is sent to a web service
automatically. This facilitates the recording and the shared experience at a
later time. To track a location scenario the message content is co-presented
with geographical maps that indicate the location of the sender and the
recipient.
A tourist from abroad who has visited Munich (Hotel
München) can download the cities web pages or the
terminals with the help of city guide mobile. When one enters his own
position, the street, the house number or even the first three letters of
his destination, he would receive a set of directions that are in the form
of text menu or alternatively they might be in the form of a map indicating
the start and the stop locations. These start and stop locations are
connected by certain instructions and waypoints. Apart from it the visitor
has also the option to select a routing grid of the route that he destined
to take. The tourist can open a certain URL from the WAP –services menu and
can download and install the program directly from the location itself,
Further he can preinstall the program on a memory card and then can later
insert it into his device.
Maps of the city are exchanged simply with maps of the fairgrounds or
exhibition halls. Individual routing grids are created that have a certain
application. The visitors of Munich who have visited it for the first time
can use the system to find their way quickly and easily between the
different booths or different locations of any trade fair. This city guide
mobile or the blue tooth is an inexpensive one and allows small data
transfers. When one is navigating and wishes to use only a small amount of
data to be functional he can use this. All maps and contents can be
transferred in a compressed form over a simpler GPRS- connection. A
customized version is made available. It is an interactive geographical
system that helps to publish the maps and data very conveniently.
The maps and data are expanded with a third dimension. This 3D enables in
looking at the three dimensional terrain models buildings and daylight
lighting effects. The mobile GIS –version offers a selection from different
source maps. Further, the full text data base search for objects and
addresses can also be provided. It is possible to access maps and data via a
blue tooth connection. The blue tooth device is portable and can present
up-to-date of the spatial or the non-spatial information of a web map of
Munich in a dynamic and a flexible way.
