Week Two Status:

• Project Overview finished
• Continued work in Eclipse for the Android Development
• Discussion with Drexel University continue in regards to obtaining blueprints.
• Continued research of campus buildings / facilities

The Project Overview was finalized, which can be found by selecting the Project Overview tab at the top of the blog. The Project Overview outlines current and future goals for the application along with describing the intents of the application.

Programming with Android continued, mostly familiarizing with Android SDK. Nothing notable has been made, but knowledge within the programming environment has increased.

Unfortunately, DUMap was unable to obtain floor plans from a past project which would have assisted in mapping out the campus. Although, there was word back from Drexel University and specific buildings that the application would like to include. A large campus map that would show campus on a large, external scale is in the process of being obtained. That campus map looked similar to the following.

Drexel University Campus Map

The map above is most visually appealing and user friendly for the design. Using a regular Google map is inclusive of unnecessary marking and doesn't allow for the user to see as quality of a visual representation as the one depicted in the map above.
