A Travel Assistant Application Based on Android Baidu Map

It is very necessary to develop applications running on mobile phones because Mobile Internet and smart phones are playing an increasingly important role in tourism. Although Android Baidu map provides basic map data, the services for Guilin tourism are still limited. To solve this problem, a travel assistant application (APP) for Guilin based on Android Baidu Map and Java language is designed and developed. The APP uses SQLite Embedded Database to store tourism information, and uses Android Baidu Map SDK package to obtain the data in Baidu Map database as tourism map information, which will be loaded into the APP for interface display. The design of request permission, SQLite database, APP page layout and specific functions are carried out for the App. Combined with the Service1, Service2 and Service3 of Android Baidu Map SDK, the APP specific functions such as map display, map positioning, geocoding, Point of Interest (POI) retrieval, route planning, navigation and route POI information are implemented to help users obtain more convenient and quick tourism information services.
