This Dérive app will allow friends to "drift" across a city and meet up at specific location to discuss their drifting experience. The app requires the use of a smartphone and smart watch. See the video and the screenshots to see more details.

Hackster is being really annoying, and cutting off comments on the screenshots.
4th screenshot: The route preferences. The user can toggle these on/off if they don't want to experience these on their drift. The text turns grey when turned off and blue when turned on. There are more route preferences, but for demonstration purpose, these are the only visible preferences.
5th screenshot: The Destination. There's a back button that returns back to the previous screen. If you notice, the animation from screen to screen is from right to left, to help the user understand where the previous menus went. Going back makes more sense when the previous screen was pushed off to the left.
8th screenshot: The user can set the drift time. The 10 minute buffer is already included and the timer accounts for this by preventing the user from setting a time that breaks this buffer (so in the above example, the ETA is actually 19 minutes, but I added a 10 minute buffer). The user can still change their route preferences from this screen by clicking on the hamburger icon to the top right, which has been there for the majority of the screens. The user can choose to start the drift, or cancel (user freedom and control). Because the app finds your location when you become curious, finding the minimum time with the buffer isn't difficult and doesn't require the friends to manually allow the app to get their location each time a user wants to start a Dérive. At this point, the app creates a fun and driftable route based on the time and destination this user has set.
