While traveling long distances through the jungle or through a desert , quite often people get separated from their troops , and not only this , many a times people died from hunger because they didn't know where to find food once their resources are done. Even today it would have been difficult to find a way out in unknown land without any proper navigation system.Now many a times people would send a group of people to look for food or lost men using a rough map. And high chance was that even they get lost.

So in order to overcome the above mentioned problems we need to have a proper navigation system. We developed a web app which uses maps to display a users live location and also shows all the users who are currently online with their live location.So people can reach out to their locations.

We used the web technology to build it . We used React Js for frontend and Node Express server for backend and powered with Socket.io for realtime updates of locations.

This was the first time we used web sockets and this was the most difficult part . However we manged to integrate it with our app.

The most important thing that we learned here was the use of web sockets , SOCKET.Io which provides updates in real time.

We will be adding more functionality like separate logins so that people can save their data. For now it can help two or more users to check their live locations and reach out to them.
