DSDN 112- Making my wireframe

Making my wireframe- I have begun to make my wireframe for this project. I have gone through my research again and have found the main features that I want to have for my wireframe.

Firstly, it needs to be able to meet the brief and have a navigation system for it- T.I.M. I have decided that it will give two options- the fastest and shortest. I was looking at adding the smoothest option because of the fact Wellington is made up of hills, but decided against this because I thought it was more important for T.I.Ms design to have the main two. Once you have selected your chosen map (fastest or shortest) it will give a straight forward 2D map with key points on it. These key points will be giving a better guide on what you should be coming across when making your way to Kelburn library to help guide you better than just a standard 2D map. Originally I was looking at having a street view map just like the street view in Google Maps, but have decided against it. This is because after looking at it, a 2D map is still very much a good map, but lacks the exceptional pieces to a street view map that would really help enhance it. Therefore I would really like to combine both together with some elements in each.

Secondly, I really want there to be a way to connect people together within the app. I have decided to solve this issue by making it so that whenever your friends also have T.I.M on, you can search for them and see where they are. Once this is done, T.I.M can give you the best way to find that person. From there you can make your way to your friend to ether get to class or just have a social interaction. I think this feature is great for new students who aren't used to the large Kelburn Campus and don't know their way around. Therefore it will bring together social interaction and at the same time give new students a small tour inside the campus and hopefully get them to the right class together.

Last, but not least I am looking at having a new feature in it that will be able to give people the ability to add contacts so they can find people more easily. THis is to help avoid confussion if there were many people to use this particular app. There will also be a section to say a bit more on T.I.M if need be.
