Abstract
Current information systems available for mobile users generally lack of real time information to help users to choose the best paths to destination taking into account current traffic conditions. For these reasons, the paper aims at illustrating a mobility information system that allows both driving and walking people to know the best paths to destination depending on the traffic data collected by a suitable sensing infrastructure. The services are provided to both PCs and user mobiles that, as pointed in many market studies, are the future versions of the current GPS based navigation systems. The basic location service consists of a minimum path finder provided by a program written in Prolog. How customizing Google Maps to display the best paths by a familiar Google Maps based interface is also widely illustrated.
