To be successful, handheld computers known as Personal Travel Assistants (PTAs) must be connected to external information sources. The viability of using the Internet and the world wide web (www) as such sources is explored. Considerations include whether www is flexible and robust enough to support various travel applications, whether to use a simulated passenger transportation terminal, and whether existing Internet protocols would be appropriate for PTAs.
