For the needs of the master in Integrated Circuits in Hardware and Software Systems a mobile application developed. The main functionality of this mobile application is to calculate the distance between user’s position and a predefined static point - point of interest like the home of the user. Moreover the user receives notification messages from mobile application in order to be notified weather he is far away from his home.
