Where is it heading?
The travel-guide market is shifting toward AI-driven, dynamic itineraries, which puts static, manual-entry apps at a disadvantage. eGO-Havana must transition from a static database to a route-based guide to maintain relevance for Havana visitors.

The SWOT
- Offline map packs remove the connectivity dependency rivals require
- User-defined location management enables personalization beyond static guide databases
- Integrating pre-planned walking routes would simplify navigation for tourists
- Adding a community-contributed tip layer could improve data accuracy
