Our project addresses the challenge by making COVID-19 hotspot location maps more accessible for common users and allowing them to identify areas of high risk without needing to manage the information themselves. Many web visualizers are not constructed on platforms that are easily navigable on mobile platforms, so our project may ease that load some as well.
We constructed this project using the Dart framework Flutter in VSCode with its intended plugins to export an Android application. Neither team member had ever used Dart before, and one hadn't ever used Javascript, so much of the development process was spent learning the intricacies of a language we were greatly unfamiliar with.
Completing the initial Google Maps functionality was a huge achievement, as we were both new to mobile app development, but the time spent after trying to integrate it with a real time location tracker was a much greater challenge than initially anticipated.
