Current solution & their weaknesses

To find a location is not difficult, I just have to ask someone anywhere I find myself to !

  • The person can show you a wrong direction: Some people can be bad to a point they even don't tell you that the don't know the location you are looking for but trying to let you know that the master all the locations of the area, and therefore show you a wrong direction or they simply want lead you where they are going to plan evil against you (caught you ...)
  • It is a security breach for you: anyone you will ask will be able to guess your intension You may be part of people that do't trust other easily in order to get closer and talk to them at anywhere and at any moment. Eg. a member of parliamentary candidate who find himself within an area he think is not popular might be very prudent at a point he even don't want people to know that he's around.
  • you cannot do that 24h/24h: Oftenly in Ghana people go to bed very early (from 11:00pm to 6:00am)

Do native features of google map are not sufficient ?

Current Location

  • The native google map is difficult to be used:
    • In Ghana and many other countries, people are not familiarized with it
    • Visitor have to find the right google map address for location. Therefor he have to go online or use a search engine...
    • Visitor have to understand what an icon means. As google provides a lot of markers (icon) type, it is not easy for anybody, and especially when such a visitor is from African or some part of Asia continent to understand what means an icon, because he probably have seen a lot of icons when browsing the web then it is easy for him to be frustrated by confusion and move to something else like asking somebody physically (which seem to be faster and easy up to now) to show him the location. But as solution, WONSANO provides a logo to identify an interest.
