For an increasing number of applications, tracking location is essential. A social application might connect users based on location. A hospitality or travel application might use the user’s location to point out interesting sights or provide custom itineraries. A sensor application might store and analyze data that is both geospatial and time series, to trigger an action like detecting patterns, outliers, and anomalies.
Further, as geospatial technology matures, location-based applications are evolving from mainly mapping applications into sophisticated, cutting-edge programs that process and analyze millions of data points from mobile users, sensor networks, IoT devices, and other sources. The world is in constant motion, and our apps are beginning to catch on.
