Challenges While Implementation

Handling Large-Scale Data in Real-Time:

One of the major challenges was handling the massive volume of data, with gigabytes flowing in every hour. Efficiently processing and storing this data in real-time required a robust backend infrastructure.

Optimizing Google Maps Integration and Geo-Location Algorithms:

Another significant hurdle involved managing Google Maps (GMAP) integration and fine-tuning geo-location algorithms. These were crucial for calculating the Fishing Suitability Index (FSI), which depended on accurately tracking whether the fisherman and the available fish were located within the same water body region.
