My scope
I’ve loked at Android, IOS, mac, monarch, and owa (Web version). The reason why I didn’t looked up win32 is, eventually Monarch will be replaced win32 outlook. So I don’t think I need to audit and think a new design solution for win32.

When designing the alpha version, and the essential parts were decorating their own map and sharing real-time locations with friends through GPS.
