Description
Summary:Mobile devices have grown tremendously in popularity over the years and have now become an essential part of our daily lives. These devices are being used to assist users in a variety of lifestyle aspects, especially navigation from one location to another. However, as a pedestrian walking a short distance to a nearby area that they may or may not be familiar with, many encountered several issues. The current location-based navigation applications were not relevant and unsuitable for assisting pedestrians in efficiently navigating. The prime objective of this project is to introduce Nearbyou, a mobile application developed with the Flutter framework based on Dart programming language. Nearbyou aims to provide a platform for users to personalize, share, and guide or be guided with shortcut routes. This is to assist users in efficiently navigating to their destination and minimizing the time spent walking to a nearby area.
