Application of Broadcast Position Android-Based Tourist Group Using Google API

Abstract Introduction: One of the common problem when doing travel in group is being separated from the group. This often makes travel times wasted due to finding the separate member. Even worse, if the member cannot be contacted, or is in danger condition. Objectives: To reduce the risk, a broadcast position system that can track the last position of group members in the last few times is needed. Methods: In this research, the writer tries to create broadcast position application system. Results: This app uses GPS and maps owned by Google as the provider of location determination and internet to process location sharing by access to API provided backend server. On the backend of the server, it only provides APIs in the form of JSON for mobile communication to the server, does not provide GUI to add master and support data. Conclusion: Dijkstra Algorithm to determine the shortest route to destination, which can be used by tourists while undergoing tour group somewhere
