Abstract

To improve the traditional Tourism Information System, provide a full range of services for tourists, and decision support for managers, this chapter integrates the Android mobile platform and Google Maps server into Tourism Information System. The features of the system include: classification of tourist attractions and related resources, query, locate, and trip planning. The system uses the Android Activity as interface design to select the SQLite database as a frontend database. The system uses http protocol to complete the server and client communication. The system is fully in line with the requirements of the tourism information management system. The advanced spatial server Google Maps make the system more convenient, intuitive, and detail.
