This paper describes the inGuide - Interactive Guide application, a context-aware tourist guide that is presently available to Android smartphones. This application takes advantage of technologies such as Augmented Reality and geolocation in order to provide contextual information in a simple and interactive way. inGuide is a modular application which provides a package management system avoiding the need for a different version of the application for each city.
