Where the Heck Am I? Understanding Location in Your Application (Droidcon 2019)Richard Süselbeck
Using GPS to find out exactly where we are is one of the more awesome powers of our mobile devices. It also poses some of the toughest challenges to developers, who must prevent excessive battery drain and deal with insufficient accuracy. In this talk we will learn how to face these challenges by answering questions such as: How does GPS even work? Where the heck did my battery go? Why does it take so long to get a good fix? And why does my phone think I’m in the middle of a lake? If you’ve ever wanted to understand how satellite navigation actually works, this is the talk for you. (It also features cold war intrigue, applied relativity theory, and a picture of a dinosaur. So you know it’s going to be good.)
Maps for Autonomous Driving - it-symposium.ruhr 2019 BochumRichard Süselbeck
There are many different autonomous driving programs, but they all have one thing in common: they all use maps. In this brief talk we’ll look at why maps are so critical for self-driving cars, what these maps look like, how they can help a vehicle understand where it is, what’s around it, and how to make driving decisions.
Making the Most of Maps in Your Connect IQ Apps - Garmin Connect IQ Developer...Richard Süselbeck
In my talk from the Garmin Connect IQ Developer Summit 2019, you will learn how to display maps in your Connect IQ applications, both on devices that support the new Map View feature and on those who don’t. You will also learn how to make the most of these maps by using advanced location-based APIs such as routing (for walking, biking, and driving) and discovering points of interest (such as ATMs & restaurants).
How to Build Your Own Ride-Share App - codemotion amsterdam 2019Richard Süselbeck
When was the last time you were truly lost? Thanks to the maps and location technology in our phones, a whole generation has now grown up in a world where getting lost is truly a thing of the past. Location technology goes far beyond maps in the palm of our hand, however. In this talk, we will explore how a ridesharing app works. How do we discover our destination?How do we find the closest driver? How do we display this information on a map? How do we find the best route?To answer these questions,we will be learning about a variety of location APIs, including Maps, Positioning, Geocoding and more.

How to Build Your Own Ridesharing App (droidcon NYC 2018)Richard Süselbeck
When was the last time you were truly lost? Thanks to the maps and location technology in our smartphones, a whole generation has now grown up in a world where getting lost is truly a thing of the past.
Location technology goes far beyond maps in the palm of our hand, however. Today it is at the heart of a broad range of applications, from logistics to games, from social networks to ridesharing.
In this talk, we will explore how a ridesharing app works. We will ask questions such as: How do we find out where the passenger is located? How do we discover our destination? How do we find the closest driver? How do we provide a correct ETA to the passenger in heavy traffic? How do we display this information on a map? How do we find the best route to the destination?
To answer these questions, we will be learning about a variety of location APIs, including Maps, Positioning, Geocoding, Routing, Traffic, Places, and much more.
At the end you should be able to build your own ridesharing app or any clever app for which location matters.
HERE Intermodal Routing API (GeoMonday Berlin 2018)Richard Süselbeck
HERE Intermodal Routing API is a REST API that allows you to plan a trip using different modes of transportation in the same journey to deliver optimized routes. It currently supports Park and Ride use cases that include driving via car, parking at a dedicated parking lot, and continuing to your final destination via public transit.
Introduction to Map and Location APIs (Silicon Valley Code Camp 2017)Richard Süselbeck
We've all gotten lost at some point in our lives. Finding out where we are, where we want to go, and how to get there is hard enough for people, but it’s even harder for our applications and devices. Fortunately, map and location APIs are here to help. From latitudes to longitudes, from geocoding to routing, in this session you'll learn to go beyond maps and help your apps and devices find their way using location technology.
