Abstract :
In this paper, we combined Geographic Information System (GIS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and wireless networks in mobile devices to develop a new Tour Arrangement System for users, and also amended the drawbacks of traditional navigation systems. Two major algorithms were proposed to generate an efficient tour path by computing real road distances in the system. Besides, we also implemented three interfaces for users to use the system. Finally, we took an example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in a real map and verified the generated tour path is efficient.
