Purpose: This application is intended for use as sort of a portable world wide tour guide for travelers and vacationers.
Functionality - Travelers often find themselves in a new and unknown city and are curious about their new surroundings.? The application is intended to help show the visitors the interesting landmarks wherever they may be. As users come in close vicinity to a landmark of note, their phone will buzz and the landmarks information will be made available to them to browse.
How: Landmark location and information will come from wikpiedia entries which are geotagged in google maps. (Go take a look at google maps and you will see you can select to see any given area with geotagged wikipedia entries.
Coder will use combination of APIs if they exist, along with? standard tools in the Apple SDK? to gather this information, and need to build an app that simply alerts a user when they are near to a particular location and present them with the relevant wikipedia article. The only other feature is a history tab which holds links to previously passed landmarks.
Within the SDK framework, the cocoa touch tools easily allow you to find the present location of any user, create alerts to the handset, and integrate to the website. Therefore, most of these tools are easily coded and the project calls for assembling and putting together all the facets.
