Case Study - GPS Mobile Application
Client Name: NDA BoundApplication: Location Based Search Application
Industry: Web development
Project Overview: Our client approached us with the development of a global positioning system promoting personal networking, seminars, panels, workshops, events and knowledge sharing on mobile platform. A Location Based search application offers collaboration of knowledge sharing with education, containing content relevant to the LBS community. The concept was to build an application where users may create new locations and mark when they visit the location while the new locations are published on the server that is shown on the user’s handset.
Primary Objectives: The application development process was started with the following objectives:
- Design and develop an application with registration form being published on the server
- Design an application enabling flexibility for the users to register and publish the event
- Application with embedded Google maps
- Wiki like approach for search based on location, date, venue etc.
Solution: After understanding our clients needs and requirements, we came up with an application envisioning all the objectives mentioned above. The LBS application designed by us is capable of providing real time data through different kinds of positioning methods. With a wide range of features available, the application offers the client a scalable, secure and manageable application for deploying their location-based services.
