A detailed map of tourist attractions across California, where users can explore, filter, and interact with different points of interest.
-
We can filter attractions using the search bar, letting users quickly find specific places by typing in a name or keyword.
-
We can add our own comments on attractions and see reviews from others, making it easier to share and learn from different experiences.
-
We can filter attractions by ratings, making it easy to find the best-reviewed spots or those that match a certain quality level.
Inspiration GeoGuide was inspired by the desire to make exploring new places more engaging and personalized. We wanted to create a tool that not only helps users discover attractions but also allows them to contribute their experiences to enhance the travel community.
What it does GeoGuide is an interactive map-based app that helps users discover and explore tourist attractions. Users can search for specific attractions, filter them by ratings and types, and add or view comments from other users.
How we built it We built GeoGuide using HTML, JavaScript, and Python with Flask. The frontend leverages Bootstrap and Leaflet.js for a responsive and interactive map, while the backend handles data processing and user interactions through Flask.
Challenges we ran into We faced challenges in ensuring the map updates quickly and accurately with real-time filtering, and managing large datasets without compromising performance. Integrating seamless user interactions also required careful handling of asynchronous data processes.
Accomplishments that we're proud of We’re proud of creating an intuitive and responsive interface that allows users to interact with the map in real-time, as well as successfully integrating user-generated content into the platform to enhance community engagement.
What we learned We learned how to effectively manage asynchronous data processing and the importance of optimizing performance for a smooth user experience. The project also provided insights into combining frontend and backend technologies to create a cohesive application.
What's next for GeoGuide Next, we plan to integrate a database for better data management, expand user features like profiles and itineraries, and introduce social sharing options to build a more connected and interactive travel community.
