GPS Map with distance.
Please use knowYourCO2 folder for latest project.
Inspiration
According to EPA, an average of 4.6 metric tons of CO2 is emitted from car traveling. We wanted to reduce that by providing walking, biking, and public transportation directions.
What it does
We built an application to show directions and navigation to the user's destination but also show how much C02 output it would produce during the route. We wanted to encourage the users to use other means of travel depending on the distance. (0-1 miles : walking, 1-5 miles: biking, 5-10 miles: public transportation, 10+ miles: personal vehicle). We would use the distance of total travel in miles then convert it to C02 measurement using the user's MPG on their vehicle.
How we built it
We used Xcode as our main IDE and used CocoaPod. We first built direction/navigation system to output distance then convert it into C02 measurement.
Challenges we ran into
Challenges we ran into is to work github and xcode to communicate so the developers can have version control.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
We learned how to build a GPS Navigation.
What's next for KnowYourCO2
