Tourist Guides
n Most (all?) guides include mapping component
n Location information possibly provided by GPS or other
location tracking sensors
n Data has to be served from a server
client devices very constraint (space, memory, CPU)
data changes dynamically (overlay of busses, traffic congestion,
accidents, …)
n Question: can we design “mapviewer” client on PDAs?
