Shared-Travel-Map

Description:

Shared Travel Map is an app that allows travelers to share their past and aspired trips with friends and facilitate planning new trips. Travelers can pin previous and aspired travel destinations on a map, to create a view of their travel history and goals. Once created, travelers can connect with their friends to get a view of their friend's travel as well. Travelers can then create a shared view that allows them to see common destinations and plan for a future trip. Once planning begins, a shared destination can be created for the new trip and planning can begin!
