Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a mobile application (app) called Location Finder that is built with Java using Android Studio and the Google Spreadsheets. This application works semantically as different locations can be automatically detected. It is a complete native Android application to find different locations such as restaurant, hotel, shops, bus stops, ATM, universities, hospitals, gas station and many more. It provides advanced mapping systems that will show different places of interest for app users. This paper discusses the system architecture and details of the design. One of the advantages of the proposed mobile app is that it is easy to develop and based on interoperable Google Spreadsheets platform.
