Introduction

Until the proliferation of mobiles, it was often challenging to tell the location of your users, making it difficult to provide location-based services. Now, almost every app developer has access to real-time geolocation information directly from the user's device.

With the globally mobile nature of today's employees, providing location-aware apps to your enterprise is just as important, if not more so as in the consumer market. Geolocation is playing a large role in enterprise organizations across a variety of domains including, fleet management, shipment tracking, sales routing, or simply providing real-time relevant information on resources available to mobile employees.

Through a series of location service examples, this chapter outlines a variety of different approaches you can leverage in your Enterprise Titanium app.
