Esri Hack The Map Hackathon

Synopsis

This project shows the power of the ArcGIS platform as used in creating a consumer application. It uses the ArcGIS Runtime Android SDK in combination with the arcgisonline.com platform to demonstrate key applications of principles in GIS such as 3D visualization, line of sight analyses, geolocation, routing etc in a way that makes it easily usable to the ordinary person. The application also shows the strengths of the ArcGIS platform and the potential to make GIS a household concept.

Motivation

We wanted to showcase the POWER of THE SCIENCE OF WHERE and how it can be applied in making seemingly difficult tasks simple and less task intensive. Exploring your world should be fun, easy and accessible. We wanted to demonstrate these by creating an app that shows the accessibility of GIS and how it can help people get to know what is around them.
