Project Title

Just Go: A user-friendly, innovative web application that allows users explore local areas using geolocation to find places recommended by locals.

Project Description

 The motivation behind this project was to provide both travelers and visitors a curated, 5 stop location itinerary that allows users to explore and get to know local neighborhoods. The app's primary focus is to provide users with a manageable itinerary that can be accomplished in less than a day. When users login to the app they are presented with various routes that contain 5 stops, all within a certain radius and walking distance. Users can choose which route to take by pressing the 'Just Go' button and begin their exploration of a neighborhood. To alleviate the stress of navigating through an unknown area, the app includes three key functionalities to assist the user getting from location to location: geolocation, real-time street view, and user friendly directions . Currently, the app is specific to the Tokyo area, but with goals to expand to more locations.

Features

The key feature of 'Just Go' is to provide the user with the ability to navigate an unknown area by: (1) accessing the users geolocation; (2) using and continuously accessing the user's geolocation to provide a real-time street view as they navigate through a neighborhood; and (3) provide the user with up-to-date directions as their geolocation changes
