Inventive Georgians create app for travellers

A group of Georgian students have created a free mobile application (app) which provides a variety of information for travellers, hikers and adventurers.

The app, called Pathway, is a portal for people who like to travel to share their experiences with others.

The mobile app is gaining attention around the world and was recently featured by Microsoft at the Student Startup Camp 2015 at the University of Tartu, Estonia.

Georgian man Ilia Aptsiauri, who is a software engineering student at Tartu University, was one of the app’s creators.

Aptsiauri said one immense benefit of the app was to make it as easy as possible for travellers to search for activities to do. The app also offered guests the option to experience a hike in virtual reality before deciding whether or not the hike was something they wanted to do in person.

The app also allowed travellers the option to add travel routes and descriptions to the system, which can then be shared with other users.

The app is currently only available for Windows phones but developers are planning to develop the application for iPhone and android devices.
