ABOUT Locator C19
Inspiration
Our inspiration comes from seeing people struggle to navigate places during the Covid-19 pandemic. During this pandemic, simple activities such as going to the park or supermarket are becoming stressful tasks. We created Locator C19 to reduce this stress.
What does it do?
This program is used to help people navigate and choose different places they want to go to. The options for places are supermarkets, parks, restaurants, gas stations, salons, and Covid-19 testing facilities. The user is first prompted to enter their town name and location. They are then able to toggle filters to their likings such as their desired proximity to the place and the number of people at the place (for social distancing and safety preferences). After the user has provided this information, the program displays the list of locations that matches their preferences. At this time, the user chooses which place they would like to go to. Additionally, the program lets the user know whether or not safety protocols were being followed. For each location, the program displays average ratings and gives the user the opportunity to fill out a mini-survey on the safety protocols taken by the specific location and would update the location’s details with the new information. Afterwards, the user is able to provide ratings out of 5 stars. The user will be able to navigate to other places from there as well.
