The project involves a GPS based Location Tracker in which with help of any
mobile device any other GPS enabled handset can be located.Though target user can be loacated
anywhere in the world,he must have network connectivity and GPS enabled for the application to
work.
MY responsibilities include working at the front end,Creating the interface using XML,setting up the maps using Google maps API , Places API for searching nearby points of interest.
Setting up the database using MySql,sending data to the server and fetching data from the server

3. •A Possible Scenario we can take at this moment is the
requirement in an asylum facility , where the care takers
need to track the location of the patients and create logs
of their location
•Or an adventurer who needs to take note of his/her
location at various intervals of time and location
while going on the adventure
• A Camp Trip where we need locations of all the
members while trekking in the wild
4. •The Application serves as a solution to all the
scenarios described earlier
•A GPS service based application which would help
us in locating the exact geo-position of other people
(any single entity of a large set) depending upon
their current location/whereabouts.
•Geo-position would be displayed on the map-view
on our android set and display functioning can
analogue to the current usage of Google Maps.
5. •Locations saved to an online database.
•Locations retrieved from the database
•Creates a unique ID (DEVICE ID) for the user
•Shows nearby Points of interests
Hospitals
ATM
Airports
6. •Additional Features Includes :
Satellite View
Traffic View
Getting Address from the Map
Locating Multiple users
Finding nearby places
7. •Shows Geo-location of registered users on
the map-screen.
•Enables the user to know the whereabouts
of friends and family with just one click.

14. After the submission the user gets a
device id which is also the user
ID(Unique)
15. The Device id along with name of the user and email gets saved in the
data base

19. Soon after the user broadcasts , the device’s location in the form
latitude and longitude gets saved in the database
26. •Application can be modified so as to implement future Google Maps V3 APIs.
They are more advanced and supports better 3D projections.
• The UI can definitely be improved by using Action Bars and other new end
graphics introduced in Kit-Kat and upcoming versions of Android.
• Activity Recognition can be added for friend’s marker .
•Additional features like street view will be implemented
•Sharing Location with selective contacts
•Periodic refreshing shall be implemented as to update the database periodically
27. •A useful application for finding the location of a nearby
android users.
• Pretty handy to meet up with friends and locating them.
•Useful Application for adventurers and trekkers to log their
movements.
•Can be implemented as Staff Tracker for any department or
organization
•A very useful Application in Asylum facilities where patients
are needed to be tracked
