6.4. Pocket PC Web design
As mentioned, the client web design is used for displaying the map and the photo which the map should be displayed with desktop view while the photo should be with default view. The two views are defined by the PDA phones, so I tried to find if there is a method to trigger 2 different views behind the web. Nonetheless, it may in relation to the internal setting of Pocket PC and there seems no method to change the views behind the web. At last, I have applied the method which is to enlarge the web page size for informative map display by inserting dummy space characters [24].

7. Conclusion
All in all, my project is a pocket pc web application with all the data processing resided on the server side. It can be extended to provide more functionalities and it is now integrated with a location based enquiry system [24] to provide a useful electronic tourist guide on PDA-phones. With the application, users can choose a desired place to visit through location enquiry easily and get an informative map with an optimal route according to the current users location detected. They can also receive a photo and listen to the audio instruction. It can obviously facilitate people in map reading and location finding. It is a useful and user-friendly application for traveling, especially the tourists in Hong Kong. The project introduces a creative and innovative idea to include multimedia components to pocket pc web application. Although there is a major long loading speed limitation, especially in the request of audio instruction, the bottleneck of the issue is due to the GPRS connection and it could be overcome with more advanced internet connection techniques. It can be used as a reference for those who are interested in multimedia and mobile computing. For further development, it can be enhanced to include transportation information such that users can use the application to teach them to go everywhere in Hong Kong. On the other hand, the method of data collection should also be enhanced to be automatic. Apart from this, it can be enhanced to include video clips to show the users with the route.
