5. However, today s application...
Reference:

Only gives us the place of
hotel at one sight
=>All we can do is compare
the location.
In fact, we want to
compare other many topics
such as charge, reviews score
or total.

7. Moreover...
We cannot know the topics
without checking each other.
It takes too much time
to look at all.

8. Our mission is to solve this problem.

9. We made this application,
more understandable map application!

11. This application allows you to compare many
hotels information at one sight.
