Building apps with location tracking is harder than it needs to be. Focus on building features that are core to your business, and leave location tracking infrastructure on the mobile and cloud to HyperTrack.
@chrismessina thanks for hunting us. We thought of ourselves as bringing the power of Uber-like location features to the rest of the world. It's an interesting question how we might be useful in tandem with Uber APIs. Thinking... Suggestions?
@righthalf yeah, I mean this is what the Trip Experiences API was intended for... So with the right partner, you could combine trip context with destination insights to create new kinds of guided destination experiences.
@chrismessina yea was looking up exactly that. A popular use case for HyperTrack is live location sharing - friends meeting up some place can share live location when on the way. When some of them are in an Uber (as they often are), Trip Experiences API can help unify that experience for all. And that is just one possibility. Thanks for the tip...
@chrismessina@righthalf - This is such a cool idea! I was fascinated with how Hypertrack enables commerce, esp in the online-to-offline world. Applications in trips/experiences open up a whole lot of new opportunities!
One of my favorite apps is Roadtrippers which shows you points of interest along your road trip, but doesn't quite do live location tracking. Would be an interesting addition!

Extremely well crafted product, developers will love it. Born out of India with a class to become location stack of the world. I can easily see a use case for an integration with conversational commerce in hospitality users can look for interesting places things to do and recommendation basis location provided by HyperTrack!
@rakeshlobster that's a common misperception. We wrote a blog about it: https://blog.hypertrack.com/2017...
You take a bunch of pins to the map and it does things with it. But you are on your own to generate those pins in the first place. And now to think you need to track a moving pin (more like a line) rather than a bunch of pins, you don't know where to start. Without HyperTrack that is.
Do you see use cases where it's about tracking and not about mapping?
@nickhung Thanks Nick. We have seen a few use cases till date ( order tracking, workforce monitoring, mileage tracking, location-based assignments, live location sharing, and profiling users & places). Are there other use cases that you see? Would love to get your thoughts!
