Abstract

Throughout the world, mobile devices have become one of the standard means of communication and data access. With the rapid and continual improvement in technology, these devices have taken on several of the roles that were once restricted to laptops and desktop computers. One of the fastest growing areas for mobile devices is that of GPS navigation. Work in this area has produced a variety of navigation and information apps using GPS satellites. These apps have become very popular in developed countries and as a result, visitors to developing countries generally expect to gain access to some form of information system however basic. This paper presents BARMOTIN a voice controlled mobile tourism information system for the Caribbean island of Barbados.
