- Our goal is to help everyone have a safe adventure and have all the tools they need in one app!
- Our app has many useful features:
- Trip Advisor - Search up vacations and places to go.
- Breadcrumbs - Fear getting lost? Not to fret, this feature logs your current location every x seconds. This will create a direct path to the trail you are on. If you get lost, either find your way back or the maps will point to the closest ranger station to find more help.
- Plant Identifier - A feature that helps users identify flora in the wild.
- Packing Checklist - Plans everything from To-dos to items recommended to pack.
- Advisory - Find out the weather of the places you are going to make sure it is safe.
- We used
- React Native
- Javascript
- Maps
- Plant.id API
- Reddit API
- Trip Advisor API
- At one point while working on the plant identifier, we could not get the camera to work. Eventually our whole app stopped working. Luckily, we had a backup of the app, which we used, getting our app set back up again.
