Dubai: Visitors to
Dubai will now be able to view maps and get information and latest
news updates about the city on iPhones, as the city administration
will soon launch a new telecommunications project called "iDubai".
Through this project, tourists will be able to view maps, which
contain 1,000 locations such as hotels, parks, hospitals, schools,
police stations, among other things.
Marwan Ibrahim Nasser, a senior official in the Dubai
Municipality, said users will also be able to send notifications
or suggestions and upload photos related to incidents with their
equipment's GPS location.
There are also search options by the name of the location. One can
access the required location by going through the list of
classifications.
The address, telephone number, photos and map of the required
location will be shown on the screen.
One can also send notifications about an incident or suggestions
to improve the services or any other complaint regarding a
particular facility.
Nasser said many other additions are being planned for the project
such as inquiry about municipality fines, job vacancies, used car
market and events coming up in the month.
