GPS devices not only provide security, but also help save money and time by providing the most efficient route to your destination. No need to stop and ask locals for directions as her personal GPS navigator provides accurate information. Her IT company is working on releasing software that will show places more clearly and look more real than before. It aids in navigation and also provides 3D vision.
Knowing your travel logistics can help you plan your budget and keep your trips as short as possible. You never know what will happen when you travel. Unpredictable and unforeseen circumstances, such as accidents and machine failures, can occur. Your car’s GPS is specifically designed to help rescue workers find you and help you if you’re in a car accident or have mechanical problems. Applications such as Roadside Assistance can help you get help from the nearest roadside assistance or mechanic.
We’ve covered mobile apps that provide GPS services and emergency assistance These apps are still missing some features, so we need to think more about how to create an application that includes the features listed below:-
- Bus route details: Your app must contain bus route details. This allows people to find their way using local bus numbers (which should include bus departure times from various pick-up locations). We don’t want to rely on locals for information, so we need to make it easily accessible to our users. Once a user creates an account, they should be able to update their details when their bus route details change. This will give you a reference point the next time you travel from the same area
Note: I would like an option to send a notification to the app admin when the bus information changes. After confirmation, the administrator must also update information about other users’ applications. If the bus is a tour bus, the app should also reflect customer feedback on the bus.
- Emergency : If we’re stuck somewhere whilst traveling, in which our cell has no signals. There needs to be an option within the software to ship notification to closeby police station for emergency assistance.
- Location Panoramic/360° view: Let’s say we want to reach our destination and our app directs us to a panorama view of the destination. Those who are not tech savvy can also get an idea of what the destination looks like. In the future, we can get a 3d or augmented reality view of the location on a phone and if the phone is connected to the watch, we will have the same augmented reality display on the watch as well.
- Notification reminder: During the trip, we get a reminder that after 10 km, we can’t find a hotel to spend the night in the next 20 km, a restaurant, a remote area with no or less people and if we have an alternative route including hotels, restaurants and a route from the countryside. The traveler can decide which route to take and can plan accordingly. If we can get the history/information of some unknown roads which can be dangerous, that should be avoided, even reflected as the shortest route in the map. For example:NH 11A , OFF Delhi-Alwar-Jaipur Highway which is one the famous highways known for paranormal activities during night. Especially near Bhangarh fort which is most affected by paranormal activities. Doesn’t matter if they are truly haunted or not, it is better to be safe and drive cautiously while passing through these roads. This way a traveler can stay in some hotel and avoid passing through these roads at night.
Managed IT service providers in India are looking forward to building software in the market which includes all these features in one application. IT will get huge profit as revenue generated by search based applications will be more than 40 Billion approx. by the end of 2024 as per MarketsandMarkets reports. With GPS III, the near future of GPS will have a much better constellation of satellites, better reception, and more accurate positioning with international interoperability. GPS plays a vital role in the global economy, and plays an important part in everything from agriculture to aviation safety. IT companies will try to get the most of it.
