TrekTogether

The current demo may not work as we have disabled our Google Map API to avoid additional expenses

A platform for hikers to connect, plan and record their hiking experiences.

TrekTogether is a project for NUS Orbital 2021 by Ngo Ngoc Phuong Uyen& Hoang Trong Tan . This is an advanced-level project, Apollo 11

Project Scope

We created a mobile application that can connect hikers with others in the community: by pairing up with another like-minded hiker and embark on trips together. Our app also serves as a tool to help hikers organise their journeys by planning future trips, and saving memorable details of their past trips.
