Introduction & Description

• For our Capstone project we decided to build a multi-tier Android application called Trail Blazer. Our application consists of a server side and a client side that has allowed our team to organize trail data from the Albuquerque New Mexico Open Trails dataset. With this information we were able to produce a clean and simple user interface for outdoor enthusiasts within the Albuquerque area.

• Trail Blazer helps consumers navigate, track and explore the outdoors. Populate local trails based on current location and keep track of your progress by recording the activity. Share your activities with friend or save them privately to your profile. This is your guide to Albuquerque’s vast open trails. Discover, share and blaze your favorite trails right from the palm of your hand.

Intended Users

• Any Burqueno that loves to enjoy New Mexico’s beautiful weather and perfect hiking trails!
• Visitors who want to explore Albuquerque.
• Friends who want to share their trails.
• Outdoor enthusiasts looking for new adventure!
