SwiftUI is Apple's latest and greatest interface for creating application interfaces. It's easy to adapt UIKit components like the TomTom Maps SDK for iOS for use with SwiftUI by using the UiViewRepresentable protocol. This article will show how to use SwiftUI to embed a TomTom Map in an iOS app, the basic building block for almost any mapping application.

TomTom JavaScript Maps SDK for Web 5.0 includes support for new mapping capabilities including the ability to rotate the map and the ability to change the map’s tilt programmatically. There’s even a new flyTo mode that animates the transition between views. In this article, we’ll build an application using the TomTom JavaScript Maps SDK for Web and write code to demonstrate how to set the map location, orientation, and perspective.

For students applying for an internship, first job, or admission to advanced studies, it helps to have a solid portfolio of applications to show off your skills. TomTom Developer Portal makes it easy for you to build professional-looking portfolio apps by embedding industry standard mapping into your applications. In this article, we'll explain why the features available through the TomTom Developer Portal are an excellent resource for students to add a variety of location services to their applications portfolio.

The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the road is increasing every year. There are an estimated 5.12 million EVs on the road today, and sales of EVs increased by 64% just from 2017 to 2018. Now that drivers are considering the switch to EVs, some common questions arise, and EV-aware apps are a big opportunity for developers, such as routing services optimized for EV drivers and the ability to provide up-to-date information about the location and availability of charging stations. We'll take a look at those concerns and show you how TomTom Developer Toolkit for Electric Mobility provides new features that simplify building location-based apps for EV drivers.
