Abstract:
The technology is all around us, but how sure are we that it is safe for us? How can we know that our privacy is being protected? Many smartphone users are constantly connected to the Internet and to many social media platform and most of them share their location on the Internet, which makes them visible to everyone. This application is based on sensors and it replaces a GPS that works only with internet and location. It helps the user to donâ€™t get lost in an unknown place, starting at a reference point. The user is able to walk anywhere he desires and with the help of this app he can turn back to
his reference point whenever he wants. This works regardless the userâ€™s position in the world as it does not use the Internet or the location.
