Perfect hiking

Context

Most hiking guides tell us that we must be well equipped and check the weather before leaving. This is indeed a minimum, but it will not guarantee you a nice trip ! Often, some experience and knowledge are required to be at the right time in the right place for hiking. But for those who are not so lucky, it is not always easy to find a track that can be achieved at a given moment in a specific place by people with the level of difficulty required, especially when you have a precise idea of the hike you want to do.

Target

For hikers who wish to select a hike by ensuring that it will suit their possibilities, desires and goals. It is designed for casual hikers who want to do the best track for them but also for experienced ones who want to break their routine.

Service offered

The application will enable you to create and develop a personal itinerary on your smartphone by selecting specific criterias and follow it on the field through the application. Planning and searching a track according to its desires and goals is the guarantee to enjoy a reliable experience that suits each hiker. The application also offers the possibility to share courses with a community to inspire other hikers. List of criterias : starting point, locality of arrival, type of hiking, distance, duration, maximum altitude, period, level (beginner, medium, expert), accommodation, food supplies, viewing point

Identity
Web interface

The development of our project requires the creation of a mobile application for our service. First, users will encounter a list of items they have to check or not if they want them in their trail. Then, the app will select different trails according to their localisation and their criteria. The user has to select one of the trails and the app will summarize what is necessary to bring and all other informations about their trail. Finally, the app will follow him all along his hiking experience. Once the trail finished, the user has to update on the app if all the items he checked were indeed encountered during his trail, as a return of experience.
