Tech talk - An overview of mapping and location based applications, James Milner

[joenash]

With the ubiquity of recievers in smart phones and IoT devices for positioning systems like GPS, the amount of geographicaly tagged data and access to location based services has never been higher. This talk will go over a little of the history of mapping and location based apps, advice on where to start with digital mapping and app development, alongside which libraries and toolsets to use for making the most of geospatial data.

James Milner is a developer at the Geovation Hub, where he helps the next generation of mapping and geo startups become reality. You can find out more about James at https://loxodrome.io.

These are some particularly cool things that James has built! I may be biased.
