MOBILE GIS
GIS embedded in mobiles to help users find critical information about their surroundings like shortest paths, routes, bus and tram schedules etc.
 
DESCRIPTION
The application will be designed to facilitate its users in finding shortest paths, timings of buses, trains and trams and helping the users in situations like traffic congestion when they are on their way to destination. The application also contains advanced and frequently used features like reminders, using which the user will be able to perform the activity which he wants to perform without any mental stress of remembering it. Hence the user can save his precious time and effort and the task will be performed in parallel of some other intended activity. The application is designed for small mobile devices like PDA's; hence it would be portable and easily accessible for frequent users.
 
TARGET GROUP
