In the last few years, Flutter has become one of the most popular cross-platform frameworks in the world. It allows users to create an application with one code base. We’ve created a simple map application which uses an open source flutter plugin that implements the JavaScript Leaflet library functionalities and allows users to display a raster map from multiple providers inside the flutter screen.

TomTom mapping and routing APIs and the TomTom Maps SDK have many useful features for developers building fleet management and logistics applications. In this article, we'll highlight the API and SDK features you can use to build these apps.

September was all about fun side projects and fleet management tools for developers. Read on for a recap of the blogs, YouTube videos, Twitch Devisodes, and events from TomTom Developers you may have missed this past month.

Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework used to build apps. While the TomTom Maps SDK for Web is a JavaScript library, we’ll look at how to incorporate it into a Spring Boot application using the Spring MVC and the Thymeleaf template engine that will generate the HTML and JavaScript from the server side.

The TomTom Location History service, along with the Geofencing API, provides crucial details about fleet movement for a business. We'll look at how developers can harness them to build smart fleet-tracking apps.

August was packed with tutorials to help you build. Read this post to check out the blogs, YouTube videos, Twitch devisodes, and events from TomTom Developers during the month of August, and catch up on anything you may have missed.

With TomTom Maps SDK for Web and the Routing API, we can access custom styling options for route sections. This lets us apply custom styling for segments along a route based on the section type. In this article, we’ll show you how you can apply custom styling to route sections based on the metadata that routing requests return.

The TomTom Maps SDK lets you build apps that provide excellent, up-to-date map, routing, and navigation information. It's also really easy to layer third-party data on TomTom maps to build apps that go beyond simple maps and routes. For example, we can combine a map with current weather data and visual map tiles from the OpenWeatherMap API to build an interesting project that is valuable to drivers on the road.

Fitness apps for runners, bikers, and hikers can collect useful information, including location data. Strava is a popular service used by athletes to track running, biking, and other exercise. And the cool thing is, Strava provides an API that lets you use that workout information in your own apps. The TomTom location APIs and Maps SDKs make it easy to incorporate location and routing information into almost any app. In this example we'll take route data from Strava and plot it on a web page with TomTom Maps SDK for Web.

Layers in a map are totally open to manipulation. In this article, we'll take a look at the mechanics of layers and how you can use features of the TomTom Maps SDKs and Map Display API to manipulate layers, add and remove layers, toggle layer visibility, and create custom styling for layers, so you can quickly adapt TomTom maps to the needs of your application.
