Travware Application

I originally was going to develop a location awareness mobile application associated with the Weather Channel and retail stores, but I switched to developing a travel awareness mobile application called “Travware” for my final project. Travware is short for "Travel Awareness". This application who target a driver that wants to get from point A to point Z without any obstacles or delays. However, if a problem occurs from point A to point Z, Travware would notify or alert the driver that a type of traffic problem has occurred and give alternate and addition instructions to different travel options. My main demographic is anyone (17 to 35) with a compatible data enabled cell phone, PDA, and smart phones that drives repeatedly from one location to another in rush hour or delayed traffic. To gain better insight, I looked at Google Maps for Mobile and MapQuest For Mobile Web. I also will examine Traffic.com and Yahoo! maps. This project will be fun, but it will also be very challenging.
