Radar is location data infrastructure. You can use Radar SDKs and APIs to add location context to your apps with just a few lines of code.

This is exactly what I've been looking for! +1

Looks great! I will definitely try it out :)

What are some common/impactful use cases you expect apps to build on top of Radar?

@taykcrane Great question. We’re seeing three main use cases emerge for using Radar: increasing revenue, increasing engagement and improving operations. For instance, using Radar to notify people when they are in a certain place so that they can make a purchase (increasing revenue), using Radar to personalize an in app experience to immediately show content about a place a user is in (increasing engagement), using Radar for delivery tracking/workforce management (improving operations). Specifically, the verticals we think will benefit the most from creating great location products are retail, food/QSR, delivery, workforce management, social and travel. Hope that helps!

@cobyberman and what are the challenges of doing this now? It sounds like there are many but just want to better understand. Foe example, use case #2 that you mentioned, this seems pretty commonplace for apps that use the phone's location sharing feature.

In terms of on demand services like uber or lyft , would users be able to create similar applications through this service ?

@kemar_darlington Yep! Our goal is to build a platform that can power location context and tracking across a variety of use cases, from on-demand apps to social apps and more.

Super awesome @cobyberman, @nickpatrick and team! Quick Q: How precise can you go w/ the geofences? Is it possible to target locations with a georadius of less than 5 meters? Can you create specific geometrical formations to for example only target a park or so?

@ludwigdumont @cobyberman We're accurate down to about 30 meters when a user's wi-fi is on. Yep, you can create polygonal geofences to target regions like parks.

@steve1215 Hey Steve, sorry about that. See my previous reply.

@nickpatrick No worries Nick, I'll keep an eye on the status page. Thanks

We have a fitness workout app. Can Radar help us know if people are doing workouts at home vs other places? Does it have that kind of more-than-lat-lng kind of place info?
Colin Lowenberg
Any support for BLE? There is a limit to the number of geofences.
