| I have created a Social GPS application. With this application, you will be able to know the location of your friends and family and where they are in relation to you. | ||
| It combines a GPS map (latitude, longitude) with an x,y map (trail map, street address) and a social map (where your friends are). This application can be used anywhere that people travel as a group. I am going to be testing the device on snowboarding, because it is very easy to get separated from your friends and difficult to find them again. This way you will be able to see where you are in relation to your friends on the mountain. | ||
| Audience: | Anywhere people travel as a group. | |
| User Scenario: | If the Group Decides to Split Up and Meet Up in an Hour. You get to the bottom of the hill and there is no one else there. With Social GPS, you will be able to:
- See if they are on their way - See if you are in the wrong spot If you get separated and don’t know where the others are. - See where they are and try to catch up - See where they are going and meet them at the bottom | |
