The document describes the architecture of Glympse's platform, which includes various core services, client platforms, and applications. The platform centers around Glympse's REST APIs and cloud services that power applications for location sharing, workforce management, and analytics. It integrates with third-party services and supports clients across mobile, web, and automotive/wearable devices.
