Tuk Tuk Meter 2

Description

Tuk Tuk Meter 2 helps to find the exact distance travelled by the user since it calculates the distance with the help of GPS satellites, which cannot be tampered or altered by the rickshaw drivers as with the Mechanical rickshaw meters. Since the application calculates the exact distance travelled by the user, it can easily calculate the fare that is to be paid to the driver with the help very simple mathematical calculation. This again helps the user from getting cheated by the drivers and acts as a reference to the usual mechanical meter. The distance of the journey are calculated with the help of GPS and gets updated real-time, takes not a minute less or not a minute more to update. Rates of the different metro cities are preloaded in the application, so that the user does not have to enter much of details into the application. This application becomes more user-friendly by giving maximum required output with minimum required input. It is not necessary that user goes around just metro cities. If the user goes out of cities or towns, the application can still be helpful, as the rates are editable. Another way of getting cheated is when the driver takes wrong route. Just tap on the route map and you can find what route the auto is travelling through. Can be more helpful to the working women whose security is a major issue these days. The application has a better route calculating algorithm that calculates the distance. Once the application is started; it can select the current user location with the help of GPS coordinates and set the fare rates for that city.
