Our classical methods of tracking a journey while on vacation
usually consist of a digital camera, camcorder, hard-print, and/or
scrapbook, all of which cost so much time and money. Usually
after each vacation, most of us have to go back to our daily busy
schedules, and we never have time to organize our collection of
memorable trips into a scrapbook to share with friends and
family. The small, portable smart phone technology has created
a new revolution in application development [2]. The unique
GPS, camera, social network and computing capabilities on
smart phones introduce a convenient and cost-effective method
to collect simple positions’ coordinate data and create maps that
can become the basis for photo album / video clips for a trip.
The purpose of the MapMyTrip app is to save the travelers a
tremendous amount of time by utilizing the all-in-one capability
of smart phone technology to instantly track coordinates, create
map of destinations with the link to photo or video clips taken in
real-time, and share on Social Network media while on the go.
