Abstract :
The advancement of mobile information systems is going in parallel with Geographical Information Systems where they both meet in providing location-aware services. New systems are providing a new pervasive GIS dimension where access to geographical attributes is being possible "anytime, anyplace and anyhow". In this article, we propose a system that provides mobile users with a service that corresponds not only to their requests but also to their preferences, location and querying time. Finally, we project the query results to construct a GIS map layer that is added to original GIS area map in order to provide more indications to the path that the user should follow in order to reach the demanded service.
