In collaboration with the AlpenWelt Verlag in South Tyrol, sengaro developed a universal hiking guide based on Android. The ”Mobile Hiking Guide” had its premier in Seefeld (Tyrol) and had an echo at the news conference.

What’s so exciting about it?
The Mobile Hiking Guide based on Mobeedo not only offers maps with POIs (Points of Interest) place on it, but has additional context information for the current situation. So when reaching an interesting area (e.g. around a mountain cabin), the hiking guide running on a GPS- and tourchscreen-equipped Android device indicates new information by emitting a beep and vibra. If interested, the user is able to access the detailed information with one click on the notification bar. Contributiong data is done via a so called cockpit, which offers options like area/spot, information category, time, language and detail-information (Text, Foto, Audio, Video). Once the information is entered in the cockpit, it is immediately visible on the online devices or can be synched right away.
sengaro and AlpenWelt are very excited about the Mobile HikingGuide and want to equip all tourism regions in the Alps with this very useful tool.
