iOS Mobile GIS App Makes for Reliable Tour Guide

Supergeo has developed an iOS mobile GIS app to promote the local tourism industry in Yilan, Taiwan. Integrating local tourist information and a Google Maps display, the app provides practical travel information for better itinerary planning.

Situated on Lan-Yang plain, Taiwan, Yilan County is famous for its natural beauty, a rich culture and abundant agricultural products. Convenient transportation has encouraged more people to travel to this county for vacations.

Supergeo cooperated with Department of Applied Economics & Management of National Yilan University and Yilan Leisure Farming Development Association to develop the iOS mobile GIS application by means of GIS and mobile technologies.

With an easy-to-use interface, the Yilan Travel Guide App offers detailed tour guides for destinations, a tourism map display and itinerary planning functions. Visitors can easily search and obtain the latest information about popular destinations, restaurants and accommodations in Yilan. The app is composed of four themes: Nearby Tourist Attractions, Specialists Lead the Way, Itinerary Plan and My Favorites.

SuperGIS Server 3.1 has plans to integrate maps, local tourist spots and related travel information and publish various map services via web browsers, making the tourist information more manageable to system administrators and more accessible to regular users.
