3 What it does “Dude, Where’s My Car?” Pin it! Navigate a Route Notes
Here is where we mention exactly what the app does. This is an application designed to help you navigate back to your vehicle after parking it. Once you park your vehicle, you open up the application on your smart phone to view the home page. From the home page you can click a button to place a “pin”. Placing a pin will use a map application to locate exactly where you are and place a pin as a reminder. This will serve as the location of you car. You can then leave your car and the application will remember where the pin is placed, designating the location of your car. When you wish to return to your vehicle, open up the application again. You can select the option to route you back to your vehicle. The application will pull up the pin of where your car is located, and guide you from your current spot, to your vehicle. Some additional options available to further aid you in locating your call will be a notes section, and a timer. The notes section allows you to make quick notes to help you remember where your vehicle is at. This could be a parking space number, row number or letter, or physical descriptions of the area(next to a big yellow truck, etc). The timer will let you set a timer, if you are parking in a metered spot. There are settings available for the timer that will let you change when the alarm goes off and what type of alarm.

4 How it works Here we talk about how the application performs the actions just mentioned. (Show DFD and User Interface) There are main factors(or actors) involved in the entire process. There is a User, a Map Application, and a GPS Application. The User is who is in charge of deciding what action to perform, as well as providing all of the input into the system. The user decides where to place a pin, when to place it, when to request a route back, if and what notes or timers to set, and when to close the application. The Map application takes input from the User to relay to the GPS application. The Map application will receive information back from the GPS Application to display a pin on a map of the vehicles location, as well as a route back to the vehicle. The GPS Application takes information from the Map Application(which it received from the User) to determine where exactly to place the pin, and information needed to route the User back to the vehicles location.

7 Why you should fund it. Similar applications How we are different
Pitfalls in accuracy How we are different Improved accuracy Here is where we talk about the reasons why this application should go to market, and why they should fund this project. First mention other similar applications already available on the market, and where their pitfalls are. Most of the similar apps work very closely to how ours does. The main difference being accuracy and additional features. Upon reading reviews of the other applications, we found users were unsatisfied with the accuracy of the map. It would bring them back to the “area” of the car, but not precisely to their car. This area tended to be too large, and Users were still unable to locate their car without extensive searching. Also, these applications did not provide any other additional features to further aid Users into locating their vehicle. The focus of our application is to improve on an idea that is already out there. We want to provide the same basic functionality, but to improve on the accuracy of it. If we can provide accuracy to within a acceptable area, as well as provide additional features like a notes section, we can provide a much more reliable application that what Users have previously experienced.

8 Why you should fund it. Target Audience Importance/Influence of User
Anyone who owns a car Importance/Influence of User To alleviate stress and to save time Here is where we talk about the reasons why this application should go to market, and why they should fund this project. Our target audience was originally college students. Each of the group members spent a minutes window of time in the parking lots around campus. During that time we polled random students walking back o their cars. We asked them 2 questions: Have you ever had trouble finding your car in a parking lot, and would you be interested in an application that could help you find a car? Here is what we found out: (Show results, they are listed in one of the milestones). Through the course of the developing the Milestones, we started to realize a target audience well outside of just students. We eventually discovered that almost everyone who has a car, could use this application. A small list of potential users could be: anyone who has every gone to a mall, ball game, grocery store, university, downtown/metropolitan area, and so on. Each of these situation provided the same basic formula; Parking in a large parking lot, then walking away from a period of time in which numerous things happened during your day that could make you forget exactly where your vehicle is. We believe there are several reasons why a User would feel the need to have this application. The original reason for the application was to alleviate stress and to save time. Another important reason could be safety. If you return back to your car during night time, it is important to get back into your car and away from any potential harm as quickly as possible. (list more reasons, cant think of any now)

9 Why you should fund it. Distribution Mobile App Store
Here is where we talk about the reasons why this application should go to market, and why they should fund this project. There is already a good distribution method in place for this type of application. Smart phones are not only a perfect medium, but also they have many of the tools and systems needed to make it work already available in it. App Stores would reduce the need for physical inventory which would cut down on costs, as well as handle the distribution to the users.

10 Q&A Any Questions? Here is where we take questions from the class.

11 Use Case Diagrams Here is where we show our Use Case Diagrams to give a better understanding of how our system works. Only show this if the teacher or someone else needs a better explanation. Michael is the one who made these, so it might be a good idea to have him explain it, but all of us should be able to.
