The Map v.2

We changed a couple of things today. This is what we came upt with after the critique:

The Map v.2

While walking in your town or sightseeing in another one you can use this interactive application to help you explore the city in a new way. It’s a map on e-paper that you can keep in your pocket and fold out when you need it. It uses GPS and a touch screen. It will also be connected to a social community (eg. facebook).
Features
• Creating a route that is based on where other people have been. The more people that have went on a route the more colorful it will appear on the map.
o Friends. You can see which of you friends have been there before and where they went.
o Groups. You can join a group with a certain interest to see what they chose to do.

• Interface. When you open the map it will only show you a map and where you are. All the menus are going to be hidden and by touching the screen you will be able to see them. By dubble clicking you can get more information.

• (Time. You will be able to look at your history, where you went 24 hours ago for example.)

• (On the move. The program knows which speed you are travelling and where you are so it will always know if you’re by foot, car, train etc.)

• (Food. It might be useful if the map know the time and can give you examples of a close by restaurant during lunch and dinner time.)
