Amazon Location Service has released the Tracking SDK for iOS and Android platforms. Developers can now easily add location tracking capabilities into their mobile applications to support customer engagement, geo-targeting, and delivery use cases.
Amazon Location Trackers enable customers to store and retrieve the current and historical location of tracked devices. Now with iOS and Android tracking SDK, developers can easily authenticate, capture device positions, and send position updates to Amazon Location Trackers. The SDK supports local filtering of location updates with configurable update intervals. This helps reduce data cost and optimize for intermittent connectivity. With the Amazon Location Tracking SDK, developers can speed up their integration of Amazon Location Service and support use cases such as sending targeted promotion when a customer approaches the store, or notifying receiving department when truck gets close to the facility.
Amazon Location Service is a fully managed service that helps developers easily and securely add maps, points of interest, geocoding, routing, tracking, and geofencing to their applications without compromising on data quality, user privacy, or cost.
Amazon Location Service is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Stockholm), South America (São Paulo), and AWS GovCloud (US-West).
