This application allows the user to navigate to any location. You can save favorite locations and future locations to visit. User is able to incorporate saved location into navigation mode.
- Category: GPS/ City Navigation
- Mobile: This app would be developed primarily for mobile - as the step-by-step navigation feature of the app would require the user to navigate through their city using their phone to get to their favorite spots!
- Story: Allow users to save future locations they want to visit and add favorites to the locations they’ve already visited. To make ease of access - once a favorite spot is added, the imbedded step-by-step navigation feature will allow users to directly get to that location with the latest traffic information.
- Market: This app caters to users who prefer to drive and explore their city! With our real-time traffic information, users are able to get the safest routes to their desired destinations!
- Habit: This app could be used as often as the user has the desire to explore their city. Whether it be from going out to their favorite restaurants with their loved ones, to even to a cool park they found and saved on their way back from work!
- Scope: First users will have the ability to add their favorite locations and any locations they want to visit for future references on the app. Once they’re on their favorite lists they can directly click on one of the spots - and the app will automatically launch its step-by-step navigation directions and take users to their desired locations!
