We were inspired by the New Jersey catch phrase "what exit?," especially as result of the official New Jersey twitter account which has tweeted many times in reference to this catchphrase.
Allows for a user to input an address in New Jersey, then approximate the nearest exit to that location.
It was built by creating a MySQL database with a table representing all the exits on the Garden State Parkway. Then using a Java-connector, it transfers that data to the java client.
Connecting my database to the java client, setting up the Google API using Maven.
First time attempt at creating a Hack, learned how to use MySQL and send the database information to Java. I learned some of the applications of Maven to be able to use the Google API.
What's next for Implementing the google maps API in order to obtain the coordinates of the address that a user inputs, then using that to locate what exit is nearest to them.
