Having fun with Location
- 1. Having fun with Location Antoon Uijtdehaag
- 2. The Location Platform for Apps
- 3. How accurate is Android GPS Cached GPS Cached Network Real-time GPS Real-time Network locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER); locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,time,distance, listener); locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,time,dist ance,listener); Passive <receiver android:name=".PassiveLocationChangedReceiver" android:enabled="true"/> NMEA addNmeaListener(GpsStatus.NmeaListener);

- 5. Real-time tracking locationManager. isProviderEnabled( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER ) locationManager.requestLocationUpdates( LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,0,0,listener); public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { if(location.getAccuracy() < 100.0 && location.getSpeed() < 6.95){ //Do something } else{ //Continue listening for a more accurate location } }
- 6. Is a consumer smartphone GPS good enough? Accuracy Rooftop <= 10 meters (desired result) Street >10 meters and <= 100 meters (let user know it’s close but not perfect. Good enough?) Neighborhood > 100 meters and <= 500 meters (give visual feedback that accuracy is low) City > 500 meters and <= 2000 meters (ask user to verify city name from a list) County > 2000 meters (prompt for manual location input)
- 7. Android GPS Testing Tool By Andy Gup www.andygup.net
- 11. Use ArcGIS iPhone and Android SDKs
- 12. Geotrigger Components • Condition (area) Polygon • Action (message, callback URL, or change tracking profile) • Tags (to group content) - Example: - Tags - Can Wikipedia article data for Buildings, History allow users to subscribe to a subset of the data
- 13. Setting a Geotrigger for a date and time Set the date and time in the dateFrom and dateTo fields.
- 14. Geotrigger Tracking Profiles Adaptive mode • Optimized for Geotrigger™ events • Will use less power when farther away from triggers and content Rough mode • Only gathers approximate location data • Good for determining if a device is in a given city or neighborhood • The most battery efficient
- 15. Data collected by one person in rough mode Portions of this page are reproduced from work created by Aaron Parecki
- 16. Geotrigger Tracking Profiles Real-time mode • Sends accurate location as fast as possible • Least battery efficient Logging • Tracks location data in areas of low connectivity • Sends to the server later, or when a connection re-occurs
- 17. Data collected by one person in real-time mode 2.5 million points since 2008 Portions of this page are reproduced from work created by Aaron Parecki

Use an aggressive setting to get accurate location as quickly as possible.Once accuracy is less than 50 meters and speed less than 45 mph set minTime = 5000 and minDistance = 25.Speed equals 0 for greater than 1 hour.

- There’s great tech out there for dedicated GPS devices and real-time tech for devices running intensive GPS for short periods, In the ordinary world – everyone wants to be location-aware, but battery drain has been an issue. Consumer devices – the devices in your pockets vs. a dedicated GPS device. I thinkeveryone in this room has troublewith GPS being a totalbatteryhog. For on the go situations, we need a solution that prevents battery-drain while still providing location-based alerts and tracking. This is consumer-grade, ready for millions of devices. Holding back the market for consumer devices to get on using GPS.
- Example of GeoJSON format. Can add date and time conditions.
