Aplicativo Android para mapeamento de rotas percorridas e site para gerenciamento e visualização das rotas

Abstract

Mobile devices have wide and diverse use and statistical data confirm the high quantity of these devices. These devices were created to make telephone calls, but today they are used for a variety of purposes: from entertainment to work tool. Nowadays features offered by these devices, initially designed for mobile telephony, include, but are not limited to, cameras, accelerometer, Global Positioning System (GPS), fingerprint reading, sensors and motion recognition devices. Considering the existence of a large number of these devices and the many features they offer, it was develop an Android application for mapping user-traveled routes. The application can be used, for example, by sportsmen and amateurs who travel in unknown paths (such as trails) and safely return from these trails or retrace them or to publicize the route. Linked to the mobile application developed is a web application for storing these routes so that other users can download them and use them as a guide. This use not only applies to help trekking in places such as swamps, forests and desert regions, but also can be used by tourists in unfamiliar cities and locations. In addition to the aforementioned purposes, the application can be used to record paths traveled, such as fleet routing and delivery. The application developed allows marking the points of the route by distance (every how many meters a marker will be inserted) or time (every how many minutes insert a marker of the route). In addition, it is possible to store photos during the route. Thus, assisting in the identification of the place when the purpose is the route could be redone, for disclosure if the route has a tourist purpose, for proof if it is linked to work or others.
