important nowadays as most of the people prefer searching for places &
locations on the web. Many a time even the popular location & navigation

locate them easily. By using these applications, they guide their customers to
locate their store easily & also help them to choose an easy and efficient pickup
& delivery location. Also, many popular ride-sharing & courier transportation
companies incorporate such application systems for pairing customers with

developed to serve the same purpose. This Location Finder application is
designed using Django & javascript. This Place Finder app will help users to locate
nearby restaurants, hospitals, local businesses & services, etc.

nearby places from his/her current location.

 5) Project Life Cycle

The waterfall model is a classical model used in system development life

cycle to create a system with a linear and sequential approach. It is termed as
waterfall because the model develops systematically from one phase to another
in downward fashion. The waterfall approach does not define the process to go
back to the previous phase to handle changes in requirement. The waterfall
approach is the earliest approach that was used for software development
