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.
