Does anyone know if it is possible to see the geolocation data of the songs detected by Shazam (or a similar app)?
Shazam does collect the geolocation of a user when they search for a song, but I haven't been able to find this information in the API.
This is an example map of Android (red) vs iOS (blue) users, created from from similar data during a Shazam hackathon in 2017. The dataset was private and I was not able to find it.

I would like to do some automated export location history - map (or picture of the map) of my walking and running activities from my Garmin watch.
I am not an enterprise developer, so I am not able to use Garmin API.
I am using HealthSync app to sync activities Garmin->GoogleFit.
I am able to see location trak inthe google fit.
I was trying to retrieve it via GoogleFit API, but looks like google does not allow we to do it :-( DataSource for the location in google fit Rest API
I was trying to perform sync Garmin->Fitbit (Fitbit has wonderful API)
But looks like HealthSync is not transferring location tracks from Garmin to Fitbit.
And I am near to giving up :(.
What could be an option for me to automate exporting\saving location tracks of my runs and walking?
I do like my Garmin watch and don't see good alternatives for them. But also I would like to own my data :-)
Google made some policy revisions especially with GDPR regulations tightening their nooses.
As stated in officially published docs, https://developers.google.com/fit/datatypes/location#location_sample, location data is exclusive to the application that originally wrote it. Thus, it becomes obscured to any other 3P app that also is writing and reading location data of its own.
You can also reach out to their mailing list, fit-developer-support#google.com, should you need any clarifications with their APIs, especially now that they're introducing Health Connect to replace the Android APIs, https://developer.android.com/guide/health-and-fitness/health-connect
I would like to integrate Google assistant inside my app. The idea is that I have a app which provides various press services, like giving latest news and such. I would like to integrate Google assistant for handling some particular requests. For example the user may ask, "what did the Lakers yesterday?" If i search this on Google or ask to the assistant, i will get a card with the score of yesterday's game. I would like, from inside my app, to replicate this interaction, that is sending the request to Google assistant and showing the answer that Google return to the user (or at least opening Google assistant with the answer)
Is such a thing possible?
I was looking at Google Assistant service sdk (https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/service/python/) and it says:
The Google Assistant Service gives you full control over the integration with the Assistant by providing a streaming endpoint. Stream a user audio query to this endpoint to receive a Google Assistant audio response.
Is this possible only with audio interaction? I'm not quite certain this is the solution I should look into
The Google Assistant SDK Service allows you to send both audio or text to the Assistant and you'll get back responses including audio, display text, and rich HTML visual content.
For mobile apps, there's less support compared to Python, but it's still doable. For example, there's a version of the SDK for Android Things, which means for IoT devices like a Raspberry Pi. You can go through this project and remove all the IoT references, but it's something you'd need to do yourself.
I have used the Map control in my iOS application. I have to get the user's car location while the user in driving (Run time update like Ola and Uber Apps).
1). Which method are they using to get the user location while moving (API call, Web socket or any other else)?
2). If are they using API call, How many once (Time interval) will they call API to update the UI?
Share you valuable suggestions. Thank you in advance.
You can do with firebase database . Firebase have realtime database . So when some data is update in firebase in particular node in firebase database , so get realtime data syncing in your app .. just you have to make proper database structure and observing proper node from database is require.
Both Ola and Uber use enterprise Google Maps API, in fact most of the
Geo-location based apps use Google maps API.
Google maps API are available at Google's developer forum. You can
make use of that API for your app and you can get your current cards
which can then be used to show on maps.
Here's the link to add this API in your site/app:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/
Also, you can add multiple features like navigation, street view and
satellite imagery with the help of this:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/
This is used in the most famous game:- Pokemon go.
It's free to a certain limit if you want to try for your own Apps,
after the free limit you need to pay for it.
I want a native IOS app with custom offline maps for a certain residential location like a group of buildings OR a large resort, app will be limited to these type of small areas only. With the app users can navigate from one apartment to another and can also see map of all the apartments/flats.
In case of resorts customers can be able to move from lobby to restaurant and then to swimming pool, etc with navigation from the app. They can also see the map of all available locations in the resort and can navigate to any of them through the app.
I am not sure from where to start to accomplish this task. Can anyone please suggest me some SDK OR anything from where I can start working on this app.
Thanks in advance.
I'm pretty sure you can't :/
You will probably have to store your places maps in your own format.
you can do this using google maps street view. you need to integrate google map SDK in your IOS application and implement the 3D street view.
Check out this links:
1) https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/streetview
2) https://www.google.com/maps/streetview/#
3) http://thenextweb.com/google/2015/09/03/googles-new-street-view-app-lets-you-upload-your-own-360-images/
Your requirement is nothing more than Offline Navigation ios doesn't have any sdk support to this, but you can achieve this by
using Ibeacons (bluetooth low energy devices)
using wifi triangulation
in both the cases you need to do lots of calculations like trilaterations and it doesn't have any guarantee for the accuracy the following links may help you all the best

I am getting into ioS development. Does anyone know how apps like Uber achieve live gps updates of driver's en route? You can see exactly where the driver is on the map and it's a live feed.
Can this be achieved through use of Google Maps API?
Thanks.
Basically, all they need is that the Driver has a device which has GPS and internet connection. Then the device locates itself (periodically) and sends the location to the central server, in which the location along side information identifying the car is stored.
And then the map view simply fetches the data from the database and shows the cars in the Map. And again it simply refreshes the data with timer.
So the Google Maps API, alongside with any other Maps offering can indeed be used for showing the map and the cars in it. But for the positioning parts, as well as for the server side implementations you likely would need to search for other offerings as well.
