Abstract :
We present a positioning system implemented in Java that is designed to provide tourist information for car users. Most of this multimedia information is stored in a local database in the car, but it is possible to increase or update it by accessing a remote database by mobile telephone. The system can be controlled like any standard computer by keyboard or by mouse, but also offers hands-free control based on an oral interface module, which is very important for a system designed to be used inside a car
