  2. Project Description • TravelDroid is an application that runs on Android-based mobile devices. Its primary function is to provide guided tours of historical routes in popular travel destinations across the globe. • User Base: Cheap tourists that own google android devices and are interested in local history. • Main Benefits • Eliminates the need for printed tour guides. • Allow tourists to walk on historical tours at their own pace. • Provide a unique guided tour at a fraction of the price. • Allow users to share their experiences with friends and family.

  3. Original Project Scope • Provide basic Travel Guide capability for Boston’s Freedom Trail • Including: • POIs (Points Of Interest), route and user location information overlayed on Google Maps using the mapping API. • A dialog will be displayed when a user reaches a POI and will contain factual information about the location. • An audio file will be played that provides a narrative of the POI. • Statistics about distance traveled, distance remaining and estimated time left,will be displayed to the user.

  4. Current Project Status • Traveldroid implements all of the original scope at a basic level. • Relatively stable  • Added Functionality: • Splash Screen with Logo • User statistics upload capability • One idea that we would have liked to implement was the option to display restaurants along the selected tour.

  5. Future Goals • Retrieval of Tour data from a server. (XML and Audio Files) • Filter available tour list based on user’s location. • Present user with ticket availability information and the option to purchase tickets for events at a particular POI. (i.e. Tour of Paul Revere’s House) • Include additional Tours for Boston and other cities. • Add tour summary event. • Travel website where users can share their tour experiences.

  6. Challenges • Subversion/ADK/Eclipse Installation issues • Screen Size • Android Platform Nuiances • Proximity Alerts
