Digital guides are something that starts to appear more and more these days. Several digital
guides have already been tried with mixed results. One version was developed for
“världsarvet Falun” where a PDA was inserted into a box with speakers and a GPS and short
videos gives information about certain locations in Falun. Another guide was developed for
the IPhone in which static maps were displayed with information rendered by a server. This
thesis tries to develop a server side solution for an application designed to give users a tour of
selected so called areas of interest (aoi). The server only provides coordinates and information
about aois and the specific points within. The solution uses a server with a database to store
and provide information about these areas. The first prototype for the solution uses https to
communicate with the application and SQL PDO queries to communicate with the database.
Future work with this solution could be to upgrade the server to facilitate a larger scalability
for the solution.
