Personal notes:

EGIPA New Cairo was my very first application written in Swift since version 2.0. It's also a map centric app (like Google Maps) that featured an abundance of GIS data.

EGIPA New Cairo's niche was to handle huge set of GIS data and cater them to wonderful features like navigation and the augmented reality explorer.

It was also a great experience working with 100% custom UI, a custom language manager and a custom theme manager.
