Broadcasting Location with a Geo Point

iOS
1

I am thinking through the idea of broadcasting someone’s location with a geo point. Here is what I think may work.

  1. Add a geo point that is connected to a specific user.
  2. As the user moves, get a new latitude and longitude and update the users geo point.

Would this be an efficient way to do this?

Take care,

Jon

Hi, Jon!

Backendless provides functional to achieving this in different ways. You can choose your own.
For example you can do it quite straightforward - create relation between BackendlessUser and GeoPoint and update the user properties when he moves.
You can read more about relations here:
