Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a car booking app using Bubble.io and I’m looking for better solutions to implement live vehicle tracking for users. The goal is to allow users to see the real-time location of their assigned car as it approaches the pickup point—something similar to what you’d see in apps like Uber or Lyft.
So far, I’ve been experimenting with Google Maps integration and using Bubble’s Map element to display the driver’s location. I’ve tried updating the driver’s location using scheduled workflows and API calls, but I’m running into challenges with delays and performance.I’m particularly interested in hearing from anyone who’s implemented live tracking inside Bubble. How did you handle real-time updates? Did you use external services to push frequent GPS data? And how did you balance update frequency with performance and cost?
Any advice, suggestions, or examples from your own experience would be really appreciated. Thanks!
