MyNavigate is a Crime Track-and-Avoid web application that gathers information about local crimes and charts the optimal travel route to help users avoid areas with high and recent crime. This is our team project for CS 196.
Our web application uses the basics of programming in HTML, Javascript and CSS, coupled with use of APIs and open-source libraries.
Tech Stack/Framework: Open Route Maps, Crimeometer API
Libraries: Leaflet
MyNavigate sisplays local areas of crime on an online map interface using API and provides optimal pathing to avoid said areas.
Our aim was to create a web application that will help users by alleviating some of the stress that comes alongside traveling. By avoiding areas of high crime and areas where recent crime has taken place and opting to take a route around those areas, users can feel safer while traveling, be it on foot or while driving a car.
