Mobile Software for Guiding Tourists in Uttarakhand

This paper reviews the enthralling category in the world of mobile software - Tourist Guidance Systems. When stuck at a tourist spot, one would assumingly be unfamiliar with the place and naturally, would need some sort of assistance to know more about the surroundings. In a situation as such, an aid available at the tip of one’s fingers would be of great benefit. The proposed mobile software is just the aid an individual might need. In this guidance system, the authors have implemented a framework of Google that will allow the users to have a familiar and friendly experience with the User Interface of the application. Features and functionalities are invoked in the form of widgets. These widgets serve as the interactive UI in the application. Some additional features of the proposed software include vital information and a list of things to be looked out for before visiting Uttarakhand, a state with extreme temperatures and intensely variable geography, so the tourists can be well prepared. Along with that is the information of all nearest services based on the location that the tourist can turn to in the hour of emergency. Furthermore, the authors state the advantages of using this software as compared to the existing systems and how the gaps are bridged.
