About App:
Motto : Interesting and local, it's ideal to rediscover regions !

Who has never dreamed of being guided to find good surprises during his vacations? or to rediscover regions with new nice places near his home ? or to give good tips to people passing by?

GeoSherpal is an ecosystem that allows you to recommend geographical locations that correspond to your interests. The specificity of GeoSherpal is that it is designed to work with the minimum of anonymous data, namely the interest ratings that you decide to share with the community of "GeoSherpal" users. The larger the community, the better the system is able to offer relevant recommendations.

In its own way, this application fully participates in supporting the local economy by indicating nearby centers of interest.

The GeoSherpal application :
- loads points of interest (POI) from the regions you are interested in.
- saves the interest ratings that you enter.
- works with the phone's position or with maps (your choice).
- works in connected mode or in complete autonomy (offline, no network required).
- does not record your name, first name, phone number, position.

According to your needs, you can create exploration profiles corresponding to all situations (vacations, daily shopping, walks, ...).

The points of interest are extracted from Open Street Map. Thus, anyone can decide to add or modify the points of interest using the tools provided by the "OSM".

The definition of the maps is maximum when the internet connection is available.

Available regions are :
- France Métropolitaine
- Guadeloupe
- Guyane
- La Réunion
- Martinique
- Mayotte
- United Kingdom
- Ireland
- Swiss
