Final Year Project Letterboxing Survey

  My name is Sarah Parrott and I am a student at the University of Plymouth, studying BSc(Hons) in Computing Informatics.
For my final year project I am planning to build an online mapping system for letterboxing. The system would allow letterboxers to:
 
  • Keep track of which boxes they have visited.
  • Plan routes by selecting and viewing boxes on a map.
  • Export route coordinates to a GPS unit.
  • Optionally share routes with other website users.
  • Use a message forum to share clues, experiences etc. with other users.
  It is still very much in the planning stage, and before I get started I need to find out a little more about the people who might use the system. This is where you come in!
If you've got 5 minutes to spare please fill in the survey below. Your time is very much appreciated!
