GPS and Location

We have developed a unique approach to location based marketing using our proprietary framework, which is available for license for both Android and iOS devices.

Using location-based information in your applications is a way to keep the user connected to the surrounding world. Whether you use this information for practical purposes (such as navigation) or for entertainment, location-based information can improve the overall user experience.

Location-based information is comprised of two pieces: location services and maps. Location services are provided by the Core Location framework, which provides Objective-C (for iOS) and Java (for Android) interfaces for obtaining information about the user’s location and heading. Maps are provided by the Map Kit framework, which supports both the display and annotation of maps similar to those found in the Maps application.

Maps are a way to visualize geographical data in a way that is easy to understand. The Map Kit framework provides standard views that you can incorporate into your application and use to display information tied to specific geographic points. In addition, this framework provides the means to layer custom information on top of the map and have it scroll along with the rest of the map content.
