Introduction

The Jolla Winter 2014 Code Camp is aimed at enabling students to develop on the new Sailfish operating system as well as harnessing open data.
As a group, we have developed a Jolla mobile application on the QT platform. Keep reading below for a more detailed presentation of our ideas, motivation, and complete implementation of this project.

Idea & Motivation

In a bustling city such as Nottingham, a lot of road maintenance is necessary to keep things running smoothly on the roads and highways. Fore knowledge of these maintenance works could save a lot of time for busy city dwellers. We have designed our app to help navigate the city more efficiently by avoiding these repair sites when possible or take into account the delay when not possible so that destinations are reached safer and faster. The application also allows users to find available parking spaces in the city conveniently on their phones. We have done these by integrating both the UK government's available open data for Nottingham and Google maps.
