Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un guide, utilisable en particulier pour les touristes. Ce guide comporte une mémoire qui stocke l'information pertinente (cartes et données générales) concernant les sites touristiques, éventuellement suite à un travail de regroupement et d'édition effectué par l'utilisateur via Internet. Un système GPS intégré sollicite l'information correspondant à chaque site en synchronisation avec la visite touristique proprement dite du site considéré.
