Radar is location data infrastructure. You can use Radar SDKs and APIs to add location context to your apps with just a few lines of code.

Awesome stuff guys!
This is exactly what I've been looking for! +1
Looks great! I will definitely try it out :)
What are some common/impactful use cases you expect apps to build on top of Radar?
Maker
Great question. We’re seeing three main use cases emerge for using Radar: increasing revenue, increasing engagement and improving operations. For instance, using Radar to notify people when they are in a certain place so that they can make a purchase (increasing revenue), using Radar to personalize an in app experience to immediately show content about a place a user is in (increasing engagement), using Radar for delivery tracking/workforce management (improving operations). Specifically, the verticals we think will benefit the most from creating great location products are retail, food/QSR, delivery, workforce management, social and travel. Hope that helps!
and what are the challenges of doing this now? It sounds like there are many but just want to better understand. Foe example, use case #2 that you mentioned, this seems pretty commonplace for apps that use the phone's location sharing feature.

check out post describing the problem of building this from scratch:
In terms of on demand services like uber or lyft , would users be able to create similar applications through this service ?
Maker
Yep! Our goal is to build a platform that can power location context and tracking across a variety of use cases, from on-demand apps to social apps and more.
Super awesome , and team! Quick Q: How precise can you go w/ the geofences? Is it possible to target locations with a georadius of less than 5 meters? Can you create specific geometrical formations to for example only target a park or so?
Maker
We're accurate down to about 30 meters when a user's wi-fi is on. Yep, you can create polygonal geofences to target regions like parks.
I'm getting a blue screen with "Uh oh! Something went wrong. Visit our Status Page for updates." After tapping the red "Get it" link here on PH.

Sorry about that! Our database provider is experiencing an outage right now. Feel free to subscribe to updates on . We'll let you know as soon as we're back up.
Maker
We're back! Thanks for your patience.
In fact I get that same error just by visiting

Hey Steve, sorry about that. See my previous reply.
No worries Nick, I'll keep an eye on the status page. Thanks
We have a fitness workout app. Can Radar help us know if people are doing workouts at home vs other places? Does it have that kind of more-than-lat-lng kind of place info?
Any support for BLE? There is a limit to the number of geofences.
