Technologies

Technologies we incorporated:

Mapping API:

- Google Maps includes an API that allows us to include a map on the application and select zones with OnClick features.
- Though this option is free for lighter use, the API may have a charge if the application is used for multiple different campuses.

Language:

- We are developing our application in Android only, and will be using Java in the Android Studio IDE.
- This IDE contains most of the tools for building the GUI.

Database and Webhosting Service:

- Firebase is an API that can be used both as a database and webhosting service.
- It will be able to store data in the database and display that data onto the webhosting service.
