摘要：Mobile computing has been growing in recent years. It is a revolutionary style of technology emerging from advances in the development of portable hardware and wireless communications. Mobile GIS applications for tourism range from tour planning, navigation support to yellow page services and mcommerce. Within the last few years, we were facing advances in wireless communication, computer networks, location-based engines, and on-board positioning sensors. Mobile GIS as an integrating system of mobile agent, wireless network, and some GIS capability has fostered a great interest in the GIS field. In this paper, we define a smart map as a multimedia spatial database integrated with different sensors like GPS (Global Positioning System) and INS (Inertial Navigation System) running in a mobile environment. A detailed discussion about the properties smart maps and their differences with traditional digital maps are presented. Contrary with traditional map, a smart map is no longer homogenous and isotropic. It is an egocentric view to the world The presented idea is supported by our work which leads to a system so called MOTA (Mobile Tour Assistant).
