Inspiration

The University of Waterloo campus can be challenging to navigate, especially for new students. With short class gaps and complex routes, existing navigation tools like Google Maps or Apple Maps often fall short in providing efficient and accurate directions.

What it does

Precise navigation instructions between buildings
Utilization of the campus's unique tunnel and bridge systems.
A map overview of all the routes and tunnel systems on-campus

How we built it

The project uses graph-based algorithms to model the campus layout and determine optimal routes.
Static maps and simple and engaging graphics will form the backbone of the application's user interface.

Challenges we ran into

Learning and implementing at the same time while the allocated time for the project is very limited.
Collecting ALL the data for each route in the map was time-consuming.
Balancing the project with schoolwork and other things in life.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

All group members are willing to collaborate and work on their assigned tasks.
Everyone is very supportive and helpful, always patient in explaining things to others.
