Motivation:
Tag Locations Based in Emergencies
The goal of this project is to allow a group of people, perhaps in an emergency situation, to geotag locations on a map. Imagine using your phone to place a red tag in a flooded area or where a person needs help, and green tag on a road where it is safe to drive.
Story:
The Current Project
This web page uses the geolocation feature now built into most browsers and accessible via JavaScript. It uses free and open map technology. Currently, it uses Google Firebase as a simple backend to provide shared persistence.
Project Development Goals
Our goal is to further enhance and build on this existing application thereby developing an application user interface or a public API which can be used and incorporated into existing applications/brand new projects; for example, this application could be used during natural disasters, in applications like Free Little Libraries or Free Little Food Pantries, or as a gaming app for encouraging communities to partake in outdoor walks/activities.
