This app is primarily a test application for me to learn Android and Wear development.
My initial goals are to create a Map interface in which the user selects a target destination, and the app then shows the as-the-bird-flies distance to that destination, updated as the user moves.
The Wear version of the app will then aim to show the same detail, the bird-flies distance to the destination, as well as perhaps a directional indicator (NEWS, or compass bearing), and maybe even an overview map.
Additional ideas:
- Reverse geocoding of the target; show the address.
- Perhaps even show place names.
- Select a destination by search.
- Select a destination by voice command, especially on Wear.
Real stretch ideas:
- Select a friend, and co-share locations to help meet people in crowds.
