PIEMAP is a map application written in C++ allowing users to navigate maps, search for intersections, parks, and points of interests in 19 major cities around the world. Developed for tourists in mind, PIEMAP offers a great user interface with impressive visuals and easy navigation.
PIEMAP is co-developed by Raymond Yang (https://github.com/Electronic-Yoda), Stephen Wang (https://github.com/Stephenwang3801), and David Tran (https://github.com/davidtran001). It relies on the ezgl graphics library found here: https://github.com/mariobadr/ezgl, the GTK library, and data in OpenStreetMap.
Since some of the project are a part of the university's course work, most files in PIEMAP are kept private on GitHub. This repository is meant to demonstrate PIEMAP's functionality with gifs and photos. Additionally, it stores PIEMAP's user interface and its relevant files, which are a deviation from the course and are meant to greatly expand PIEMAP's user experience. Due to risks of Academic Offenses, the source code is not available on this public repository.
- Buttons that help the user interact by zooming in/out and panning
- Display Points of Interests (POIs) like restaurants and schools
- Display geography such as parks, rivers, lakes, streets, and buildings
- Clickable icons which can be toggled for more information
- Operational searchbar to find specific intersections and streets
- Labelled street and landmark names
- Navigation Algorithm (A* Graph Search Algorithm) which can find an optimal path between intersections
- Side bar with walking/driving instructions to follow the calculated route
- Clickable path finding by clicking on two intersections when search mode is toggled
