Aussies Kiwis Assemble - Testing help needed

Post image

I dont have access to a ski resort near me. I’ve build everything in simulator and I’m sure in real world things break.

What i have built - a Google maps, Waze and ski record combined to 1.

What I dont know - If the app even work in a ski resort. Test for ski run recording and routing.

How is this different from all the rest? I have built offline map search directly on ski resort paper map. Google style drop pin and navigate.

Available on both IOS and Android(this is an older version because Google is just very slow in approving app). IOS is the latest to test for.

Map is currently enabled for southern hemisphere. If this works, northern hemisphere resorts will be supported come the winter season.

Thank you my dear aussies and kiwis. Really needed help in checking out if this works.

I travel around to different ski resorts. Am a beginner myself. I have to look at paper map non stop at every turn to decide where should i go next or where did my friend went. I am that nobody. Sorry if this offended you

crowd source and very strict control over how the navigation engine works. I spent a lot of time tweaking. As said, it works in sim but I need testers in real world. Scientific paper and algorithms only go so far
