TODO - The need of communication between people constitutes a primary pursuit
in organized societies. Despite the rapid growth of technology in the
last decades, followed by the generation of products and services that
are targeting to cover the telecommunications needs, the frequent
communication noises have not been eliminated. The absence of timely,
consistent and effective arrangement of a specific spot of meeting and
time, delays and failures, when the point is the physical contact, are
only some of them. In this paper, we propose an internet application
which could improve the aforementioned situation by providing real-time
interactive maps with the specific routes of people; it also provides
dynamic information of the remaining time and distance related to the
meeting point. Essentially, the application is a social network with
full operations of interactions between the users. Similar applications
and services have been examined in order to assess their functionality,
and identify their shortcomings, so as to ensure that the proposed
application is original, simple, friendly, effective and efficient.
Through the presentation of the developed application we explain its
benefits and describe its design and our desirable goal.
