My first experience developing an android application.
At first I decided to develop an app which would help in finding out the best possible bus route for a travel. With this idea in mind, I started experimenting with gps and trying out other ways in which I can get information about the users location.
I now understand some bits of Google maps API, and am also able to link that with the gps inbuilt in the phone.
Yesterday I saw post on BBC where someone was looking for an android app for cycling. I thought that with what I have currently developed, a cycling app is not too difficult. With this in mind, I started working on something which would save the location and the elevation at that point in gpx format. After some 4 hours of googling and looking at the gpx format, I was able to add the functionality to my app.
To make it a fully functional cycling app, I need to add the following features to it:
1. Show current speed. Also store it to be able to use it in future.
2. Show the track just covered in Google maps.
3. Show the elevation statistics of the track in a graph. Also, if speed was recorded, then show it in the graph.
