Abstract
The advancement in technology has brought with it a plethora of resources that can be used to make one's life easier. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is one such resource. Knowing the location of the user can come in handy and provide a wide range of services. Location-based alerts are a new type of location-aware, just-in-time service, which can alert the user of the location at the right time and the right place. The objective of the project is to create a GPS-based application that can sound an alarm to notify users when they arrive at a predetermined location. The final solution enables the user to quickly set off an alarm, and based on the user's remembered position, the alert will sound when the user arrives at the desired area. This location-based alert service will help those who frequently go to new locations or people who do not want to miss their destination for a variety of other reasons not to miss it.
