Abstract :
In the case of self-help tourism, the tourist may get lost or miss some scenic spots. To solve these problems, this paper systematically studies the design of a self-guided tour of scenic spots system based on FS2410, describes the principles and functional modules of the system, and studies in depth how to display GPS positioning dynamically by using Qt/Embedded. The system implements map showing, GPS tracking, and video of attractions automatically playing, scenic spots enquiries and so on. Finally, Drum Mountain Scenic Area in Fuzhou is taken for example to testify the feasibility of the embedded guiding system. The example shows that the system has friendly interface, simplified operation and rich information, which will bring great convenience for self-helped tourists.
