Last Mile Navigation

Extend the planned route to the traveler's booked accommodation with on-demand routing in the Tour Guide App.

When the traveler nears their booked accommodation, the app offers to continue navigation directly to the entrance — and lets the traveler decide when to leave the planned route.

Available in the GUIBO App and all white-label app variants.

How it works

  1. Smart detection — The app monitors progress against the planned route. Proximity is detected as the traveler nears the route end or the hotel.

  2. Accommodation icon appears — A new icon shows on the map and stays visible from this point on. The traveler can tap it to navigate to the hotel at any time.

  3. Proactive dialog — A prompt asks whether to continue on the planned route or navigate directly to the hotel.

  4. Dynamic routing — When the traveler accepts the prompt or taps the icon, the app calculates a new route from the current GPS position to the accommodation entrance.


Why the traveler is asked

The accommodation may be located before the end of the planned route — for example, the route can continue past the hotel to a village or viewpoint that is part of the tour operator's itinerary.

The prompt makes this explicit so the traveler can decide whether to:

  • Continue on the planned route and navigate to the hotel later

  • Leave the route now and navigate directly to the hotel

This keeps the traveler in control and prevents them from missing curated content by being routed to the hotel automatically.
