Hey Everyone
How would you implement real-time location tracking in a Bubble.io app similar to Uber, specifically for both drivers and riders? I want to understand how you would set up the app to continuously capture and update the driver’s live location and show it to the rider in real time on a map, as well as allow the driver to see the rider’s pickup location accurately. Which map service or plugin would you recommend using with Bubble.io (for example, Google Maps or Mapbox), and how would you integrate it to ensure smooth and responsive live tracking?
Please also explain what kind of workflows or APIs you would use to send location updates, how frequently these updates should occur to balance performance and user experience, and whether you would use Bubble’s native features or an external database for location storage and retrieval. Additionally, I would like to know how you would handle location permissions on mobile devices, ensure location accuracy, and manage potential delays or performance issues due to frequent updates. If there are any cost implications for APIs like Google Maps or other third-party services, please include those considerations as well.
Thanks
