Geolocation
continues to be
a hot topic
especially in the smartphone sector. You can do many wonderful things if you are able to track the location of a person. 1. It would be great if you could know whether your daughter has reached her school safely. 2. It would be useful if you could find the actual route to an unknown place. 3. It would be cool if you could locate a restaurant or a hospital in an unknown place. Isn't it? All these are possible with geolocation. In today's competitive world, businesses try to improve their service making the best use of geolocation information. This in turn increases the demand for location aware applications. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Janice Hageman says "

I recommend this course to anyone trying to develop an in depth knowledge on this topic.
I regularly take many online courses from multiple sources, and
I evaluate this course as one of the most insightful one I have come across! The materials are systematically structured, and the instructor literally takes you from basics to the details. There are examples and hands-on exercises, which I found extremely helpful. Instructor's understanding of the subject is really impressive. Also, I see that the instructor is very responsive on the discussion forum. Great work. Recommended.
