Detailed Description

The aim of this project is to understand the use of maps in the spatial domain and use them as a tool for providing context-based information. The project also aims at understanding the use of maps at one level above navigation and looking at maps one level above navigation and at maps as a tool for gathering location-based information more than providing just information to the users. As the project advanced, more emphasis was given to the sharing of experiences among local people, which further narrowed the focus to understanding and exchanging shared information that is location-based. The target audience being travelers, the project aimed at designing a mobile map application that would help travellers during their stages of travel and cater to their needs and requirements. Keeping in mind the keywords like travel, experience, information, and sharing, an attempt was thus made to come up with a map-based travel application that understands the main feature of its target audience, that is mobility.
