However, current tourist guide system lacks an integrated solution and travelers have difficulties to obtain the information on attractions due to outdated data. Moreover, available on-line tourist guide apps with google map navigation lack technical breakthrough and innovation.

The main purpose is to let users gain overall knowledge and the latest information with tour guide system, furthermore, to get rid of tourist guide problems.
