Route System

Inspiration

Our inspiration was the simple convenience of having an app that can make a route specific for distances, especially for running.

What it does

Users input a distance they want to run or bike and our Google Maps API based algorithm generates unique routes that match the given distance from the user’s starting location.

How we built it

We utilized IntelliJ’s Android SDK system to work with both the front-end and back-end. For the former, we created a simplistic UI with IntelliJ’s UI system. On the back-end, for connecting XML files, we used Java. We implemented the Google Maps API into one of the pages with the public resources that Google provided for the functionality for our map.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into many challenges with the setup of IntelliJ's Android SDK as well as setting up the Google Maps API.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have some functionality for our app and to have a well built UI.

What we learned

We learned that we should know more about the software we want to use before the hackathon as we could spend more time doing the project instead of setting up.

What's next for MapMyJog

Implementation of elevation and Points of Interests to customize routes based on user preferences Inclusion of external hiking trail API’s to expand route options Addition to Google Play library to reach wider audience

I worked on the front-end using Intellij's UI system and a bit of the back-end.

Yihoi Jung
My contribution towards the project focused mainly towards backend and UI development of the homepage and its associated menu options. I was also involved in debugging errors and issues that we had come across.

Harry Xu
I developed the front and back end of the Google Maps implementation. It was the first time working with Android Studio and the Google Maps API, and it definitely gave me an interesting challenge.

Serdar Hasan
I initiated the back-end development for our team, completing our settings page as well as the corresponding intellij-idea and android UI. In the latter half of the project, I worked with the team to link activities and integrate the Google API that Serdar worked on. Although this was my first Hackathon, it was a phenomenal learning opportunity!
