Tiivistelmä
The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to get familiar with the process of development of a map-based mobile phone application for iOS and to create a solution to a real life demand.
Nowadays, modern gadgets play an important role in our everyday life. There are hundreds of applications available on Application Stores for different operating systems. This allows using these gadgets for varieties of different purposes. One the most interesting and rapidly developed trends in mobile application development is related to maps. Such features, as tracking location, navigation and location sharing combined with gadgets’ portability and high productivity improve our lives. This study is about creating such application for a cer- tain target audience – for Fishermen, who visit or live in Finland. Its main function is to show user’s location on maps and to help him/her with catching fish by finding depth dif- ferences of the lakes’ or rivers’ bottoms. Such differences are places, where fish prefers to stay. This application was created using ArcGIS product line and iOS development tools.
The result of this project is a functional demo of application called FishinGo, which per- forms its main task well. Currently, it still needs improvements. For example, it does not cover whole Finland, but only a part of it.
This application will be used later as a platform for the future development of this idea and will be released to the App Store afterwards.
