How to create a trip advisor like city guide...

I create this topic because to the other ones it got too confused... How can I create a city guide like trip advisor? What I mean is making some areas guides available, and user can download what he wants from inside the app... Is this possible?

Georgios, the easiest way would be to use a HTML Doc or a pdf and cache it. See the description in the Plugins section. I am no guru, but anyway I rather recommend to not to play with things that are not part of the app. Imagine a tourist in Korinthos, searching for a free wifi in some Taverna, cursing on the fact that he cannot download the missing part of the map or cityguide. Maybe shrinking the images with save for web can get you the right size so that you may include everything in the app. Cheers! Frogman

thank you for your comment and your proposal...but the problem is that even if I try to shrink the images and so on, the app will be huge...that's why I would like to present something more like "trip advisor"...and that's why I created this topic,if someone can help me build something like that!
