Most of the time we receive recommendations to go to different places. But when it's time to get going, we always depend on something absolutely ungovernable: time. Well then, so that you never make the wrong destination again and a downpour ruins your start, AccuWeather, the famous weather forecast application, has just released a very interesting tool.
Thanks to this new function you will receive recommendations of places where the weather is good.Or where you can take refuge if the opposite happens. AccuWeather has just reached an agreement with Foursquare to suggest locations with good weather or places to get safe In this way, it is very likely that in a super hot day, the system points you to nearby pools. Or that in the middle of a storm, he recommends a cafeteria to take refuge while having a hot chocolate.
But be careful, in order to know where you are and what could be best for you, AccuWeather will have to know your location at all times.Users who want to use this feature and take advantage of its benefits will need to activate location services and share their geographic position on the map.
In any case, this is an option that can be deactivated and reactivated as many times as the user deems necessary. It should be noted, on the other hand, that Foursquare will eliminate the personal information linked to the different places and geo-positioning on the map.
The reward for AccuWeather:
Logically, offering this service to users is not completely free. These will have to put on their side. They will receive recommendations for places to go, but in return, will be providing AccuWeather with their location.
This is a very interesting fact for companies that advertise in this application. Because they will be able to get information about the places they usually go and what kind of people they are.
If you spend half your life in the gym, it is likely that AccuWeather and Foursquare will end up recommending he althy restaurants. It would not be logical, in this sense, that the profiles of people who take care of their he alth, receive recommendations to go to junk food restaurants
