The idea for the project of Monolit2Go platform was to develop a simple guide for hiking, biking, and other thematic trails in Slovenia, based on the knowledge and access to spatial information that Monolit as a company has.
Solution
How to present all important information about a trail in a user-friendly way?
Solution
Each trail is described by the most basic information such as trail length, duration, starting point access, short description, marking symbol, and is all presented on the map alongside the course of the trail, additionally points of interest encountered on the trail.
Solution
How to ensure that people can orient themselves on the trail itself and not get lost?
Solution
A person can check their current position, heading, and progress on the map and on the trail, which can also be enriched by data for current elevation based on the trails elevation profile, so they can prepare for any challenges ahead like steep climbs or descents.
Solution
How to maintain data access when there is no cellular reception, while on the trails?
Solution
Each trail can be saved into a person’s list of favourites and all the data can be download to the local storage on the mobile device. This way a person can access all the information about the trail even when there is no GPRS connectivity.
