Project overview

Many apps could be made richer by adding a map and location services. In this project, we will build a location tracking app that we will call MeTracker. The app will track the position of the user and save it to an SQLite database so we can visualize the result in the form of a heat map. To build this app, we will learn how to set up processes in the background, on both iOS and Android, because we cannot share code between iOS and Android. For the map, we will use the Xamarin.Forms.Maps component and extend its functionality in order to build a heat map. To do this, we will use a custom renderer for iOS and a custom renderer for Android so that we can use the platform APIs.
