The vision of this project is to create a web-based app that has functionality to plan a route on a map, check local camping/air bnb lodging as well as weather, and post blogs about your travel experience for others to read and interact with. Users will be able to sign in to save your content. This is an all-in-one road trip app.
This app allows individuals to organize and plan a roadtrip to alleviate stress on which way to go, where they will stay and what the weather will be like without having to switch between multiple apps. They can also read blog posts other's have created to help plan what they want their experience to be. Make the most out of your vacation!
This is a one stop shop for planning a trip. Theres so much stress involved with planning a vacation. This app also fosters a community with shared interest in travel and road trip lifestyle. Everthing will be in one place there is no need for visiting multiple apps when it can all be wrapped up in one - Nomad.
