Design problem
How do we create a lightweight way for users to save all necessary information for Maps and Cortana to recall the location of their car?
Role
Full design ownership
The project began by focusing on the essentials of saving a location, followed by the options to add a note and photo. This new type of favorite location can be easily updated by users on the move.
Results
The UX scales appropriately across devices and accounts for lost GPS location in garages. The Car became a Favorite within the Maps app, keeping it easily accessible for directions, editing and Cortana's recall/use.
