With this information, the tourist He has to provide transportation to the location he wants to travel using another application. remains. This is multiple applications during the tourist's actually individual trip. causes its use.

In the maps included in the current technique, the service providers used (Google Maps, Yandex Maps, Apple Maps, Yelp Maps, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap etc.) There are related performance issues. As a result of this situation, the Locations are loading late. Crashing problems in some applications during installation is occurring.

In addition to the existing technique; When tourists make their trips with travel agencies, It also causes them to see locations that do not have an area. This is time and money means lost. Detailed comparisons of current applications are given in Table 1. given.
