After, we added our own twists to make the app the best it could be. Using MIT app inventor to code the app may be difficult at first but, here is the code required to make the GPS tracking and location to work!

When you are finished, publish your app! To get our app to work, we specifically partnered up with Dial-A-Lift.

Have fun Inventing!
