Logistics is often thought of as planes, trains, and freight trucks, but any company or organization that moves things or people from one place to another is involved in logistics. We’ll examine five innovative ways developers can use TomTom mapping APIs and SDKs to provide more effective planning, visualization, insights, and information in the field of logistics.

Satellite imagery is here! In this tutorial we’ll walk you through how to get started by creating a satellite map using TomTom’s Maps SDK and satellite tiles, and then configuring the map to allow us to see POIs.

Developers have the opportunity to optimize web apps for better visual, hearing, and mobility access – and many best practices cross over from area to area to help easily reach even more individuals who can benefit from adapted design practices.

APIs are designed to help developers build applications easier and faster, and SDKs help speed up the process by turning some of the most complex APIs into even easier-to-use functions. We’ll take a look at some of the most interesting ideas we see the TomTom Maps SDK for Web being used for and how to implement them.

We love Star Wars, you love Star Wars. So, for May the 4th, we had to find a way to make a fun mapping project about it! We used the TomTom Map Styler along with fuzzy search, tilt and rotation, and popups to map Star Wars filming locations. May the 4th be with you!

From Women’s History Month, to tutorials on delivery routes, data science, or using TomTom maps with some of our favorite frameworks and languages, we had a variety of content go out in March. Catch up on any you may have missed out on.

In honor of International Women’s Day, we interviewed women in GIS across the globe to hear about what they’re working on, their thoughts on the future of mapping, and the importance of diversity in geospatial. Here’s a follow-up to part 1 of the series.

Our Mapmakers series highlights the people behind the products. This month we spoke with Olivia Vahsen, Developer Advocate. Learn more about her career journey from mobile games to developer advocacy, and hear her thoughts on the future of data privacy and diversity in tech.
