Geolocation continues to be a hot topic especially in the smartphone sector. You can do many wonderful things if you are able to track the location of a person.

1. It would be great if you could know whether your daughter has reached her school safely.

2. It would be useful if you could find the actual route to an unknown place.

3. It would be cool if you could locate a restaurant or a hospital in an unknown place.

Isn't it? All these are possible with geolocation. In today's competitive world, businesses try to improve their service making the best use of geolocation information. This in turn increases the demand for location aware applications.

The Course Structure is as follows:

We first look at the HTML5 geolocation API including how geolocation works and how to get location information for a point of time and also for a period of time. As you proceed with this course, you will learn how to use the following APIs along with HTML5 Geolocation API to make your applications really magical.

1. Google Maps API

2. Google Places API

3. Google Directions API

This course teaches you how to come up with really useful and unique location-aware applications (GPS- based applications) using HTML5 Geolocation API. You would develop 6 location-aware applications as part of this course that too from SCRATCH. The happy news is that you can use these applications while traveling (if you have a mobile device with GPS).

By the end of this course, you would have the following web applications developed from scratch.

1. Where Am I? that displays the location information in a text message and also in a map.

2. Weather Forecast that displays the local weather information to the user.

3. Distance Calculator that calculates the distance between the current location and specified destination

4. How to Reach? displays the route from the current location to the specified destination

5. Find Around Me displays nearby restaurants, ATMs etc to the user

6. Postcode Finder displays the postcode of the user and allows the user to get the postcode of the address entered

7. Store Locator displays different stores details in a map fetching details from the database

Each application is developed from SCRATCH which makes it easier even for beginners to follow.  You will also get a list of application ideas that you can use to develop your own location-aware applications.
