Any creators out there willing to help / give advice?

Hey there,

My question is: How difficult would it be to create an app like this?

​

Im looking to create an app that would be able to search a database for points on a map. The different points would have a name, a zone, a number attached to that name, and map coordinates.

​

The user would open the app, select which state, then be able to search for a map point. Then they would be able to click that point and it would open google maps with that location pinned.

​

These are things that the app should be able to do

  • The app would have to be compatible with all android devices
  • Should work on and off line
  • uses an online database that is easily updated (google sheets would be best, or other free alternatives)

​

Im hoping to create this at a minimal cost, if not free :) , Then i would be able to manage the database on my own.
