This project presents a new way of sightseeing, by adapting itself to new times and new technologies. It has been created a system able to guide the tourist at all times during a visit to a city by means of a PDA with GPS technology; it shows the most interesting points (both in text and multimedia contents), the most important routes, a street directory, a calendar events, etc. As additional support, the system has an internal web page that helps to manage in an easy way the touristic contents. Moreover, it is used a Wi-Fi wireless technology to update the PDA contents automatically. The system has a server that allows to use the web page and update the PDA, hiding the access to the database to other kind of services not allowed by the system. Therefore, the most noteworthy aspects of this project are the use of a Wi-Fi wireless technology and a GPS positioning technology.
