The age of mobility has been embraced by all, including travelers, who have abandoned multi-fold route maps and heavy guide books to adopt smartphones with travel applications to roam about like a local. ThinkPalm, keeping pace with this trend, developed a comprehensive travel application to help tourists meander along the roads of Tokyo without a hitch! The tourist application, available in five languages, helps visitors spot important locales and guides them with maps along paths with the least traffic congestion. Travelling is made an enjoyable experience for its users at the click of a button, without having to expend internet!

Business Need

The solution was aimed at addressing a critical pain point of significant internet data being utilized while browsing key tourist attractions and their locations.  The customer demanded an Android/iOS application capable of saving details within the application to minimize the usage of data communication. The travel app was expected to integrate the GPS functions of the terminal and support five languages namely, Japanese, English, Chinese simplified, Chinese traditional and Korean. Modularity, scalability and smartphone/tablet compatibility were the prerequisites in the design front.
