Abstract
Title: Design and Development of an Android Application with Supportive
Website in order to create a Travel Guide for Western Macedonia
In this diploma thesis, an Android Application for tourist content, focused on
Western Macedonia, along with a Supportive Website was designed and developed.
This application and website were created to facilitate the search of touristic information,
as also the navigation at various points of interest.
More specifically, through a user-friendly graphical environment and with the
help of the Google Maps API platform, the user can easily, quickly and directly store
a place or a tour on the website. By saving it, it is immediately available in the Mobile
Application.
When the user starts the application, the current location is located and the user
can be easily navigated in one of the saved areas or tours.
System administrators have the same capabilities as simple users but additionally,
they can process or delete users, view, edit, and delete all of the saved areas and tours,
and make another user also an admin.
