About JourneyGuide

JourneyGuide is a web app that gives suggestion on outdoor routes around your area. Whether you want to walk, run, or bike, JourneyGuide can suggest you an outdoor route for you. JourneyGuide will take either the time you want to be out or the distance you want to travel in order to plan a trip for you.

My Involvement

I was responsible for implementing the Google Maps API using JavaScript in order to calculate a route for the users. The app will take either the time of travel or the distance required and put a pin on a distance/time that is half of what is requested. This will allow the round trip to match the user's criteria.

Achievements

This was my first ever hackathon, and within the time me and my team were able to create a website with a UI that accepts user input and displays on Google Maps the route that is recommended to them. We were also able to complete a mock-up of an envisioned mobile app version of the site.
