Background of Development

GOPin" was created by a former cab driver.

It takes a lot of time and effort to confirm the destination of foreign visitors to Japan, and sometimes they end up at the wrong destination.

If there were an app that could easily determine a person's destination without using words or gestures, transportation efficiency could be greatly improved. GOPin" was developed out of the desire to create an application that would assist cab drivers.
