What's inside Samen Zoeken App

  1. Overview of the Samen Zoeken App's core purpose and strategy

    The Samen Zoeken App is developed by a foundation with the goal of making professional tools accessible to volunteers to accelerate search operations. The development strategy prioritizes a short development cycle by focusing on a single 'high-impact' tool first, allowing for rapid launch and early user feedback to ensure resources are spent on the most effective features.

  2. Overview of the Samen Zoeken App mission and vision

    The Samen Zoeken App and its supporting foundation aim to accelerate search operations for missing persons. The core vision is to provide professional-grade tools to volunteers (citizens, family, and friends) who typically lack access to the specialized training and tools used by official agencies. By making these tools accessible, the app aims to increase the number of people searching effectively and reduce the risk of volunteers interfering with professional search tracks.

  3. Overview of the Samen Zoeken shared map

    The Samen Zoeken app allows multiple users to record search routes on a single shared map. This enables coordinators and searchers to see which areas have already been covered and which remain. The thickness of the lines on the map indicates the number of people who have walked that specific path. For large-screen monitoring (e.g., at a control post), the map can be accessed via a web browser at https://app.samenzoeken.app.

  4. Overview of the Samen Zoeken App core functionality

    The Samen Zoeken App is designed to accelerate search operations for volunteers by providing professional tools. Its primary high-impact features include:

    1. Free access to professional-grade topographic maps (stafkaarten) for both the Netherlands and Belgium.
    2. A shared tracking mechanism that allows users to see where other volunteers have already searched, preventing redundant efforts.
