Wouldn’t you like to know exactly where every item in your shopping list is located before stepping inside a store? A prototype system installed at Tesco Extra, Romford in north-east London is looking to do just that and they need your help. If you have an Android 2.2+ smartphone and live or work near Tesco Extra, Romford, this app is for you.
Let us caution the ‘Sat-nav’ beta app for Tesco Extra, Romford, is very much a prototype in the R&D phase. In fact, the app is not even in the Android Market. To land a download link to the free app you’ll need to shoot an email over to R&D project manager Ben Martin with the subject ‘SATNAV APP’ and include your Android smartphone’s make/model and OS version. Within a few days he’ll respond with instructions to get you up and running.
So how does it all work? Once the app is installed, simply open the app upon entering Tesco Extra, Romford and you’ll be presented with a comprehensive store map. Press a button and the app will find the shortest distance between the products you want and create a route for you (within 3 meters). As you walk around the store a blue dot will follow your location. Finally, the app works either by creating a shopping list beforehand or by selecting products as you go; making for the perfect shopping companion.
