Android games apps: part 3

It's an application which feels and run like a game. A game based upon the world around us. Based on Google maps, it require us to physically explore real locations of some public interest and capture or convert it to our side. There are two sides we can choose from. One is blue team, known as Rebellions and second one is green team, known as The Enlightened. Both of them doing the same task which is to send GPS coordinates of real locations, places of public or national interest and anything else with some importance to it. As far as I can think, I see that it's an information collecting data base. Google maps are based upon images taken by satellites up above in the skies where as Ingress is driven by the users, humans, who walk around, explore, take pictures or send GPS coordinates and other information back to Ingress servers through internet of all the places where Google Street view, can not reach physically due to security and legal issues. This game/app also collects data of how many cellphones or internet devices are around us within a circle of 200 to 500 feet. <--500feet--we--500feet--> something like that. A scanning Radar, which scans information around us. 

 Picture at the upper left is a Google map radar with or without portals, beacons or more simply, places of interest.
 Picture to the upper right is a realtime chat window. Area can be local, regional and global by sliding the range slider at the top.

DomiNation
DomiNation is a good game but too slow to my taste. Was taking so long to progress so.
