Trials App - Pokemon app


Synergy

Recommended Posts

Bare with me...................

How hard would it be to make an app which uses google maps, similar to the Pokemon app but instead with gyms and checkpoints you could mark in places for riding.
So if you were to visit other cites you could potentially click on a Point of interest, brings up a picture and you could then decide to head there or somewhere else?

Obviously because im completely ignorant on apps and making such an app, i would assume its a 5 minutes job :D

but no really anyone any experience with apps? how hard would something like that be?

It would take longer than 5 mins... depends really, but even a super simple app (which this is not) will take at least a few days from start to finish. Did you see that episode of the apprentice where they made an app in 24hrs? They had a team of like 20 developers working on it and all it did was play a fart sound when you clicked a button.

I suspect there's already something out there that already does what you want. Collaborative google maps might be worth a look.

I think the hard part here is generating interest and getting people to use it. You have a 'chicken and egg' situation where most people will download the app, see very few spots on there, then get bored and not use it again. You'd need to have some people really championing the idea and committing to building up a good database of riding spots.
