Location based mobile device system and application for providing artifact tours

An improved location based mobile device artifact tour system comprising:

• an artifact data source system comprising a database of artifact information;
• a computing device coupled to a non-transitory computer readable storage media, the storage media comprising a program utilizing program functions to transform the storage media and its associated systems into an artifact tour generating device, the program functions comprising:
• accepting a location in a geographic region;
• associating the location with a set of artifact data and locations, the set of artifact data and locations filtered based on pre-selected user preferences;
• displaying the set of artifact data and locations on a map of the geographic region;
• creating a multimedia tour of the set of artifact data and locations;
• and
• storing the multimedia tour in the non-transitory computer readable storage media;
• an information communication system connecting the computing device to the non-transitory computer readable storage media and the artifact data source system;
• a user interface system informationally coupled to the computing device;
• and
• a map display system coupled to the user interface system, the computing device and the computer readable storage media.
