The aim of this dissertation is to present the analysis, design and implementation of an application for Android Smart phones that is based on user’s location in real time. This application allows the user to explore points of interest located close to his position. The user has also the ability to add his own points of interest and to regulate the radius of search. The development of the application is based on the Client - Server model of architecture using the most modern technologies, such as the Phone gap platform which allows the usage of web programming languages and mark-up (e.g. HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3). In addition, in this dissertation the spatial database PostgreSQL with the PostGIS extension is used. The design of the application has been illustrated by the Rational Unified Process with the usage of UML. Moreover, in this dissertation a bibliography research is performed, related to other projects and applications, examining to which extent they exist similarities or differences to each other. Finally, we describe all the technologies and services that have been used for the development of the current application.
