Abstract:

This applications allows cyclists to be guided along their previously planned tours with the aid of aerial photo-graphs, street maps and topographic maps. In contrast to existing bicycle navigation systems, cyclists are not only guided by spoken and visual directions. They are also provided with multimedia content extracted from a regional tourist database regarding places of special interest situated along their chosen route. They can indulge in exciting video clips and podcasts if they so choose. Another novelty is that the digital maps used in this system cover all suitable tracks, even footpaths and farm tracks, whereas previous tour planners are merely based on official road and cycle path networks.
