To: Dr. Leonard
From: Stephanie Singleton
Date: June 29, 2011
Subject: Get There User Case
This memo contain storyboards, personas, user cases, wireframes, and device details for the Get There
application.
Description
Get There helps you save time. Just put in all your task for the day, and Get There maps out the quickest
route for all your task. It doesn’t just show you the quickest route for a single destination but it takes into
account all your destinations and to create the path. Need to customize your route? You can prioritize
your task based on time and importance.
Once you finish with your current destination, simply click next destination to continue on your route.
Get There saves your route for you. If your next destination has a time constraint, Get There will notify
you when the deadline is approaching. Based on your GPS location and the time of the next task, Get
There calculates what time you need to hit the road.
Simply need to keep up with tasks? Create a list in Get There and it will notify you when you are in the
vicinity of one of your task. Need to get a key made at Home Depot? Get There will notify you when you
are near Home Depot. Need to pick up your dry cleaning? Enter the business name and next time you
are in the area Get There will notify you. It is a navigation based application that takes your to-do list and
schedule into mind.
Device Uses
Get There provides user with a more effective way to run errands. Users inform the application of the
different tasks they need to perform with the option of including prioritizes such as time and importance
to customize their route. Get There then provides a map of all their task and the best route to take to
accomplish each. With this application, users can find the most efficient way to reach their destination
while factoring in their other task. Get There will eliminate wasted time and gas. Users can organize their
errands, to-do list, tasks and destinations. This application will allow users to focus on other things while
letting their device direct them to the next location. Get There is like having a virtual assistant in their
pocket.

2. Target Audience
Get There will be for users who are busy occasionally or everyday. Users that benefit from making list,
using navigation, and organizing their life will benefit from Get There. It is an application that can be
used for the user’s work and personal life. It is for the forgetful user, the user that wants to improve
their efficiency, and the user that simply loves the ease applications provide.
Device Class
The device class you’re targeting and OS Since this is a navigation based application, only navigation
ready devices would be able to facilitate this application. This application will be created for the Android
Marketplace and then considered for the App Store. Initially this application will be created for the
Android Marketplace and then for the Apple App Store. The mockups for this application are create for
the Android OS.
Screen size
A screen size of 480x800 was used as the template for the design, the most popular phone dimensions
for the Android among users. This is currently the most common screen size used in the Android
Marketplace (http:// developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/screens.htm). Android provides a
small, normal,large, and extra-large screen. The markup was created with the dimensions of the large
size phone but the markup will be adaptable to all dimensions. User Flow
Design dilemma
This application takes pieces from current applications to create a simple, cohesive, new application.
Get There borrows from navigation, calendar, and to-do list applications. Deciding which pieces would
work together to help the user complete task was hard. In some areas , new pieces had to be introduced
in order to make the application come together in an effective way. Looking at what essential parts to
keep and which the user could do without was the hardest part. To create a simple ease of use, the
application had to remain simple while still encompassing the necessary components.
The initiation of this design will provide users with a easier way to get from place to place to place. Get
There is a user centered design that believes in constantly improving their design to fit the user’s needs.
Look forward to constant updates and improvements.

3. Persona One: Alexis Parker, 24, Stanford, CA
Occupation: Full time Paralegal, Part time law stu-
dent
Personality: Driven, motivated, social, organized
Lifestyle: Alexis Parker works hard to balances her career, school, and her social life. She spends
8 to 10 hours at work as a paralegal. The other half of her life she spends studying law at Stan-
ford. To keep her sane, Alexis makes time for the friends she’s meet at school.
Originally from Settle, she left her home to start school in California. Alexis makes trips home on
holidays to visit her family. If she is not working on school or work related business, she is out
socializing, trying new recipes, or traveling. She rarely gets a free moment to herself but when
she does she simply likes to relax and enjoy movies.
Technology: Alexis likes to have the newest gadgets but knows that technology changes quickly.
She only purchases the gadgets that she thinks are essential to her everyday life. She is too prac-
tical to spend money on the things she only wants. Instead she admires them from a distance.
She currently has a Droid. Her first smartphone was a Blackberry. She switched over because
she was curious about the apps on Android. Blackberry was too business oriented and she
needed a phone that satisfied all aspects of her life. She does, however, carry a Blackberry that
is issued to everyone at work. She only uses it for phone calls and emails.
Application needs: With Alexis busy schedule, it can be hard to organize her life. But it’s essen-
tial to Alexis to organize the various aspects of her life because without organization, she wastes
time. Alexis usually runs errands in various parts of the city. She finds herself often missing
destinations or driving in circles trying to complete all her task. Alexis needs an application that
organizes all her task for her. She also needs to prioritize certain task over others. Alexis would
also like the application to keep up with her to-do list and notify her when she’s approaching a
destination where she can accomplish her task. Often times she creates a to-do list without be-
ing able to finish all the task. This function would allow her to be more efficient.

4. Persona One’s Get There Scenario:
Figure 1. Alexis needs help running errands after work

5. Figure 2. Alexis decides to use Get There to route her destinations

6. Figure 3. Alexis uses Get There to get all her errands done quickly and easily

7. Persona Two: Bradley Coogan, 37,
Atlanta, GA
Occupation: Full time Quality Systems
manager
Personality: Fast learner, intelligent,
adaptive, dominant
Lifestyle: On a regular day Bradley
Coogan works 10 hours. Some days are longer. He is in his late 30’s and is one of the only young
professionals in his position. In college, Bradley worked to climb up the ladder of his company.
He never rest in excelling in his career.
When he’s not at work, he enjoys bowling with his friends and wife. He is a newly wed that
loves to travel with his wife. Him and his wife are very family oriented though they haven’t
started a family of their own yet. They split the holidays between both families.
Technology: Bradley stays on top of the latest technological advances. He loves reading Engad-
get and Android Central. He also reads reviews on the latest phones with Android OS as well as
keeping up with the competition. Bradley buys all the newest gadgets whether he needs them
or not.
He currently owns an HTC Thunderbolt. The world of smartphones is not a new one for him.
Bradley’s first smartphone was a WIndow’s phone that he brought while in college. Later he
switched over to Android because of the various apps and the faster processor. Bradley’s motto
is the faster the better.
Application needs: Bradley needs an application that can keep up with all the errands he runs
on a weekly bases. While he job doesn’t require him to be on the road often, there are times
when he has to meet with clients, and supervisors off campus. He would like an application that
can get him to his meetings while also alerting him of nearby restaurants and stores. Traditional
navigation allows him to complete this task but he would like to populate several entries at one
time. The traditional navigation does not allow him to find all the destinations he needs at once.

8. Persona Two’s Get There Scenario:
Bradley has a meeting with customers across town. Before the meeting, he has a dentist ap-
pointment. He uses Get There to navigate to his dentist appointment while setting up his next
location across town with location and time. Once he exits the dentist, he can load Get There
again to bring up his next destination. While driving towards his meeting, he realized he has a
little time and calls a friend that works in the area. Bradley gets the location of his friend’s job,
pulls up Get There and presses next destination. The application allows his to interrupt his cur-
rent route with the new directions. While visiting with his friend, a notification/alert appears
that reminds him that he needs to leave for his meeting. Get There finds his current location
and calculates how far he is from his next destination. Unlike other notification/alerts, Bradley
doesn’t have to calculate the time he needs to get to his destination because Get There does it
for him. After his meeting, Bradley then navigates his way home while including a few stops to
the local electronic store and the grocery store.
Conclusion
Get There will provide the on-the-go individual with a way to organize their life. Whether work,
school, personal, or special occasions, Get There will provides users with the quickest route to
their destination. It not only navigates the user but allows them to combine their calendar and
to-do list into one application.
