As a mobile guy a key feature which attracts most of the developer is location. Android provides Google play services to get the location(Latitude and Longitude), Maps, GeoCoding and Geofencing facility, It also provides a way to track using GPS/Cell Tower/Passive Providers.
As I was looking over the internet I found Verayu.com which provides a complete platform for Location Retrieval and Location Tracking using LAAS API(http://docs.verayu.com/).
How verayu.com is more efficient for Tracking ?
Verayu.com doesnt use GPS Service, it works via the concept of Cell Tower tracking, it has a huge corpus of Location database which was run over different parts of india. The accuracy claim by verayu is more than 80% accurate.
Now this interest me to build an Android application over LAAS API for location tracking. I was always keen to build an application which helps tracking loved one's when they are away, even though they are away they should be under my surveillance so that I can track there safety especially in a country such as India where crime rates are increasing on women.
I would like to give you the broader overview of API and how it can be integrated with mobile applications. First thing is get registered with Verayu.com, you would be provided with API key and Email. For example adding you the API
GetTrackees:
https://laasapi.verayu.com/?method=gettrackees&key=<key>&email=<email>
Key: 32 bit AlphaNumeric encrypted key
Once I am half thru the android app, I would like to share you the flow.
Please watch for my next blog and comments/suggestions are welcome...
