People who embark on multi-day backpacking trips experience the wilderness in a different way than any other type of adventurer. Frequently many days from the nearest signs of civilization the isolation is second to none in this activity. Additionally, often every supply and resource needed for the duration of the trip is brought in from the start making the activity one that is both strenuous, dangerous, and requires careful planning. I believe that some of these needs can be targeted by a carefully and specifically designed mobile application.
Our team will design and create a professional backpacking assistance application that meets the specific needs of backpackers through the implementation of a couple of novel features. The application will provide a GPS based log of the backpacking trip, while accounting for the battery life requirements of multiple day use without the ability to recharge. Additionally, the program will provide a planning tool in the form of a gear inventory checklist including consumption rate tracking for both water and food. Another novel feature that will be implemented is an emergency notification scheme, which will send an emergency text message with specific details (like GPS location) the next time the phone has cellular service.
Mobile phone users who backpack will find this application very useful due to the specific targeting of their needs. We propose to sell the application at market competitive prices. Please consider helping with the initial costs associated with the development of this novel application
