ProblemBeing a visitor or a tourist in a new city is an adventure. You probably have a city map as your primary guidance to look around the city. And mostly, you will try to visit all the famous ... [More] places shown in the map. One desire could arise while you are enjoying the attractiveness of the city is that you wish to have drinks with your companions or to have chats with the locals or just to have a nice pleasure time. Pubs or bars are the best place to fulfill the wishes with more additions of the city's urban atmosphere. However, sometimes it is hard to be familiar in new places. You probably do not notice a pub nearby or two blocks away from your current position. Moreover, most of the city map do not show such places in details except for the well-known ones or tourist attractions. In general, we would like to address this problem by having a simple and intuitive instrument with considerations as follows: It operates in a mobile device (e.g. cellphone, smartphone), It uses maps for better visualization and user interactions, It consumes low computational powers to cope the battery constraint, and It can be used widely in everywhere and anytime. SolutionWe propose a web mobile application that utilizes and integrates the services through the Internet. The final product will serve as an interactive city guide which promotes the city's pubs and bars. The idea of the application is to search pubs or bars that locate near around the user position. Thus, the application shall constrain itself in a short number of distance, e.g. in a radius of less than 1 kilometer, as the boundary. In our opinion, this initial constraint is a better approach rather than showing all the pubs and bars at once. The benefits are the application is more intuitive and faster. We use two Google products, i.e. Google Maps API and Google Android in order to implement the idea. The Google Maps API serves as the map service provider and the Google Android serves as the operating system platform for the mobile device. While the data exchange is using the Web Service technology with JSON as the data exchange format. FeaturesSeveral key features: Find the nearest pubs or bars given a certain number of distance from the user position (less than 1 kilometer). Visualize the pubs or bars location in a map. Filter (or critique) the result in order to narrow down the selections. Show the pub's or bar's profile (e.g. the opening hours, address, prices, drink menu, facilities, etc.). Show the pub's or bar's sample images. Show the walking directions from the user position to the nearest pub or bar (optional). Prototype [Less]

Overview "deSCribe" is a navigational tool to help touring the University of Southern California campus an easy and pleasurable experience. We have attempted to provide directions to destinations on ... [More] campus along with contextual information. Features Turn by Turn directions to any location on campus. A three letter acronym or the complete address of the destination building can be entered by the user. All directions are given out in clear audio. A map displaying your current position as well as the route to be taken is constantly displayed on the phone. All directions to the destination are also available on the phone along with the distance to the destination. The user's orientation is taken into account while giving out directions. The phone can be used as a pointing device. On pointing the phone towards a particular building. The name of the building as well as a brief introduction to the building is spoken aloud. The user is given an option to take a picture of his/her surroundings. The image is then analyzed for any side views of cars. In case there are any side views of cars present, the user is told their number. This feature has been added to aid the visually impaired in situations like crossing the road where the presence of a side view of a car indicates a busy road. Implementation Details We have implemented "deSCribe" on the Android platform. The user's orientation is determined with the compass available in android and the location information via GPS. We have used the text to speech library available at http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/ to provide the directions by audio. In order to process the images for side view of cars we run the Gentleboost algorithm in the back end. We upload our image to the server and process it, and then send the information regarding the number of cars back to the phone. [Less]

Small library to simplify the handling with overlayer in the android mapview. FeaturesWith an OverlayManager you can create ManagedOverlayer which extend the com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay ... [More] and add a great boost of functionality. The mapview-overlay-manager has two main functionalities: Easy to use OnOverlayGestureListener. LazyLoading of marker. In addition this library provides: Custom MarkerRenderer (dynamic creation of marker-drawables) Customizable onTap() click-range OnOverlayGestureListenerSimplified OnGestureListener. A ManagedOverlayer uses its own build-in GestureDetector that fires events like: onSingleTap(MotionEvent, ManagedOverlay, GeoPoint, OverlayItem) onDoubleTap(MotionEvent, ManagedOverlay, GeoPoint, OverlayItem) onLongPress(MotionEvent, ManagedOverlay, GeoPoint, OverlayItem) onZoom(ZoomEvent, ManagedOverlay) onScrolled(...)
