We began to brainstorm the user interface. To come up with the design, we looked at several other mobile applications that provided tidal forecasts and routing for its users. The main page shows a map of the user's location. We plan to have two main buttons on the front panel: one does GPS, the other provides a menu with forecasts, reports of obstacles, flood routing, and other additional features. Routing provides directions to destinations based on flood information. The menu opens up to tidal forecasts (drop-down list or graph). The report button allows users to visually mark-up areas that may have impediments. It also allows for corrections of flood information.
