to simplify the process of integration of the user into a new urban environment, it is optimal to use a web service that allows, on the basis of location, to determine the nearest points that are of any informational nature, or grouped lists of interconnected points that form routes. The web service corresponds to the REST (representative State Transfer) architectural style and is developed on the Java 8 programming language platform. OOAP (object-oriented analysis and design) was used as a design methodology.
