Following the success of the Macao Heritage Net in 2004 and the
Macao World Heritage Information Kit launched last year, the Macao
Cultural Affairs Bureau has launched ‘Exploring the Historic Centre
of Macao’ PDA route guide. The system presents a comprehensive
introduction and information on the sites situated in the Historic
Centre of Macao in digital format with visuals and text descriptions
that can be downloaded by PDA for the convenient use of residents
and tourists.
The Historic Centre of Macao was listed on UNESCO’s World
Heritage List last year.
‘Exploring the Historic Centre of Macao’ PDA route guide system
is available in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Portuguese
and English formats. The content comprises user interface
directions, description on the universal value of the Historic
Centre of Macao, route guide, maps, albums, introduction and opening
hours of each site, and relevant activities. The interfaces of the
system are vivid, and its clear instructions make it simple to use.
It is also equipped with a virtual mode for exploring the Historic
Centre of Macao, which enables users to have a clear picture about
the location of the sites. In addition, each site has an individual
interface. Surrounding streets and areas are mapped out and the map
can be magnified and reduced according to user’s needs for easy
reference.
At less than 5MB, the system can easily be downloaded and used
via PDA. Download the ‘Exploring the Historic Centre of Macao’ PDA
route guide for free either at www.macauheritage.net or at
www.icm.gov.mo. Users are advised to register their e-mail addresses
when downloading so that they can be informed of the latest
information through their mailbox. |
