Geogad Mobile Tours

Challenges Entered: 
With the new Web 2.0 and mobile communication and electronic tools, a traveler can take their own multimedia tour guide with them. How this works: Travelers can search Google Maps for tours and tour stops across the world.Tags associated with the multimedia tour stops help travelers focus on the subjects that are of most interest to the them. Fellow travelers can rate the tour stops and can add their own tags to help identify them for other travelers.Local people can upload multimedia tour stops about the history of local areas. Geogad will give them a chance to reach out to travelers and explain why their homes are definitely worth a visit.Ways to get the tour:The tour itself can be streamed from the Geogad website.For the more mobile travel, the tour can be uploaded to a portable media player to be viewed at the traveler's leisure when at the location. For travelers with access to the Internet on their phones, the tour stop video clips and audio/photo slide shows can be streamed directly to their phones. For phones with GPS capability, the traveler could spontaneously search for tour stops that are close to their location and are of interest to them.
