Challenge
LEASE LOCATOR Lease Locator started as an Oil & Gas industry based app that used LSD or Coordinates to guide users to locations. This hugely successful app was first developed for Android over a 5 week period, and after great demand was later released on iPhone for iOS. One of the major hurdles overcome during the development stages of the Lease Locator app was generating a very large location database for western Canada, which includes British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Solution
A database loop-up table consisting of over 20 million data points was created, allowing users to find every single location across the region. This database was then converted to LSD, UTM, NTS, and Lat/Long formats which gives it international status. TECHNOLOGY By utilizing API – native google apps – for the map, it opens using the GPS to pinpoint your location. This responsive experience immediately builds confidence because you can see it working. You can then search for a destination with your choice of formats, and allow Google to give you directions within Google Maps. All locations are stored in each user’s history and can be recalled at any time, making it convenient to compare distances or revisit previous destinations.
Results
The app has been downloaded over ten thousand times, and has over one thousand searches being processed every day.
