Given a start location in the form of latitiude and longitude as well as end location, Elevation-based Navigation (EleNa) is an application that finds a route which either maximizes or minimizes the elevation gain according to the user preference. The route returned is x% of the shortest path between given location where x is also a variable based on user input.
Maximizing the elevation gain would be useful for health enthusiasts who are looking to perform intense workout by jogging or bicycling through elevated path whereas old people or people who wants to avoid climbing elevated roads because of health issues can minimize elevation gain.

The following versions have been used for building and installing the dependencies
- Python 3.8
Create virtual environment ( This is an optional step, the application can be install using system level python as well) https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html
(Optional)
Create a virtual environment : virtualenv virtualenvname
Activate virtual environment : source virtualenvname activate
Install dependencies / requirements using the command
pip install -r src/requirements.txt
Run Flask server using command: "python -m flask run"
After installing the required dependencies and building the app server as mentioned above, follow the steps to start the server.
- The flask server server would start by on port
5000. Please make sure the port is free for use. - Flask server URL
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
