It is now mid July. The time is fast-approaching. In school, Jeffry had to look for group mates for their Web Development subject. On this subject, student enrolled are required to look for existing companies and make them websites, either just informational about the company, reservation of their services, or a system for online orders and buying. With his classmate Georjayne E. Auza, a CSS enthusiasts and a designer, they agreed to team-up for this subject.

This was the time when the idea was disclosed to others. Jeffry had no plan to disclosed the idea before, because he planned to execute it on his own. But these two team mates wanted to present some unique project to their subject teacher, who is also the Dean of the College of Information Technology of Liceo de Cagayan University, he was Dr. Andrew P. Ponte.
With their passion to present new and unique ideas for their projects, Jeffry disclosed his idea to his team mate Jayne. Jayne also agreed to make this as their project for the WebDev subject. The project's title was "Map Localization Using Google Maps API"
Thinking that this project is time-consuming and is very broad and complicated for the WebDev project, they trimmed-down the project. Instead of a bus tracker that uses GPS-technology, they first presented a mapping service that uses Google Maps JavaScript API. The Dean accepted the proposal and suggested some additional features on the project. The team agreed and started working on the project in the first week of August 2013.
During a consultation, the Dean suggested that the team should add something in the project. He said it would be nice if we will add a feature that will enable the users to send messages to one another. The team accepted the suggestion and added a feature that users can not only map and add a place but also send messages to each other.
On October 16, 2013, the team finished their project and have finally submitted their final output to the Dean, and have passed the defense. On the day of the defense, the team disclosed to the Dean about their plan, that their project is just a starting point of a more bigger project. They told the Dean that they have this 'Track a Bus' planned project and are planning to partner Rural Transit Mindanao, Inc. (RTMI) to implement this plan. The Dean was very supportive and even told them he can borrow GPS device in the Research and Publication Office of Liceo de Cagayan University in order for us to continue this unique project.
The team promised that they will continue the project and maybe in the next semester, which is their thesis-1 subject.

| During the last weeks of August 2013, the Mapping Service of Jeffry and Jayne is running and is near to completion. This screen shot is taken on August 30, 2013, and is posted by Jeffry in Facebook with a caption --"It's kinda hard working with Google Maps API. But at least prepared for the tracking a bus project". Here's the link on Facebook>>http://goo.gl/2APQIu |
