App for IOS & Android -Touristic Guide for smartphone
TripTo – Online and offline tourist guides on your smartphone
With TripTo, you can promote your local area or your business by giving tourists and travellers an app that is simple to use and full of online (and even offline) content describing the local history and the most interesting services and itineraries in your part of the world.
TripTo is available for iOs, Android and Windows Phone
The innovative technology developed by Prossima Isola makes it an excellent tourist guide, for both online and offline browsing:
-
Simple
-
Choose between the Light Brand and Full Brand versions: in both cases, you'll have a customised app with high-quality content that's intuitive and exceptionally easy to use.
-
Multi-channel
-
Even capable of promoting businesses and points of interest in different areas – making it ideal for tourist consortiums, collaborations between local areas, business improvement districts and international partnerships.
-
Emotional
-
The option to include video and audio guides and the “augmented reality” mode will make each traveller's experience special; in this way, visitors will be in a position to discover everything about their surroundings at any time.
-
Instant
-
Thanks to push notifications and geolocation, you can aim your promotions and events at a specific target, sending the news in real time only to those who are actually nearby at that moment, thus avoiding expenditure on generic – i.e. obsolete – advertising.
Technical features
TripTo is an integrated project geared towards creating guides that have the capacity to cast your local area in the best possible light, transforming the tourist into a traveller and meeting the needs of businesses, clients, institutions and citizens thanks to the use of innovative technology.

Geolocation
At the heart of the TripTo smartphone app there is the geolocation of information. Users of the TripTo app discover the content through points of interest (informative profiles), itineraries, news and events – all accessible directly from an interactive map. Thanks to the integration of the app with the GPS system on the user’s smartphone, by selecting the navigator function the user can be guided to the desired point of interest.

Automatic push notifications
The user automatically receives push notifications – which can be activated and deactivated through the application settings – concerning new events and news that have recently been added.
-

-
Around me
The administrators can link one or more points of interest to each event that is added to the application. Thanks to this functionality, a user interested in a particular event can discover other places in the vicinity and the associated services and facilities.

Augmented reality
The user can access the information in “augmented” mode. After selecting the "Augmented Reality" viewing mode, the camera on the user’s phone is turned on and the user, by focusing the camera on what he or she is looking at, sees the markers appearing directly on the screen corresponding to each point of interest, in the precise direction of that point of interest. The user can interact with the single markers by touching the corresponding icons, with the option to access the relevant editorial content and to receive instructions on how to reach the places in question.

offline
-
Offline browsing of the content
The application makes it possible to download all of the content onto the user’s smartphone, enabling the user to browse that content at a later time, even without an internet connection. This functionality is very useful for foreign tourists, who can thus avoid the expensive roaming charges applied by their mobile operator back in their home country.

List of Favourites
It is possible to save the single points of interest and the maps in the list of favourites – crucially, the maps can be saved with the centre and the specific zoom level as defined from time to time by the user. This functionality is very useful for saving time when searching for a point of interest that has been viewed in the past.
