Project Description

GIS(Geographic Information Systems) domain is used for developing KittyHawk-MAPS in iOS/MAC for end users. Eventually iPhone will be allowed to use only APPLE KH MAPS only on their phones. Ensuring the paths and routing on all geographical bodies to lead end users to their desired destination in iOS.Capturing all the geographical bodies on the planet to ensure and provide the path/navigation to the user. Geographical bodies are divided into modules and each module is handled by each scrum team.
