A biking application in a cell phone..
Hello
I have been a member of xbhp for the past 7months and am absolutely delighted to be part of it..(all this for the mods to approve my thread
)
Getting down to business now, Im a student of computer science engineering and have this idea to help bikers in general.
I would like to write a cell phone application which helps bikers/tourers/commuters maintain their bikes and help them in touring.A major cell phone brand has offered to help me if the app idea is good..
The app helps you to calculate your mileage and tell you when you have to change your engine oil and remind you to to service your bike if its time..May be if you have been riding for long hours it suggests you take a break
Now i have shortlisted all these
1. Mileage calculator
2. Touring guide(may involve gps based maps in case you get lost and keeps a track of the quantity of fuel in your tank esp. useful if you have FZ16 like me whose fuel indicator is completely screwed)
3. Periodic alerts (servicing etc)
The application should be updated by the user ,the odo reading and fuel filled are the only inputs to be given by the user.
Now the regular tourers and other members of xbhp ,you have to tell me what other features would you like to be added onto this. And it would be of great help if you tell me if you would actually install such a application onto your cell phone(free one of course).
PS: I have to submit the synopsis tomorrow so PLEASE be frank and give me your suggestions asap.
