Developer Spotlight - Autodesk Location Services Developer Program PDF Print E-mail
Written by LBSzone   
Friday, 23 March 2007

 Billed as the killer enabler, the Autodesk Location Services Developer Program enables application developers to leverage the same tools used by five world class carriers to build and deploy location-smart wireless services using the Autodesk LocationLogic platform and APIs. Autodesk Location Services Developer Program offers third party developers a software platform that enables you to quickly develop and deploy your location services applications, reducing your time to market and development cost.

 About the Program:

The Autodesk Location Services Developer Program puts application developers in a great position to take advantage of Autodesk’s breadth and depth of expertise by providing:  

  • A robust environment and standards based application programming interfaces (APIs); making it easy for developers to rapidly build and customize services for deployment.
  • A Software Development Kit (SDK) that provides building blocks, sample code, and documentation in the development process.
  • Dedicated support services that are ready to answer both technical and business oriented inquiries.
  • A network of carrier relationships where Autodesk is the trusted advisor for new applications.
  • Some of the most generous commercial terms once an application is deployed with a carrier.

At the core of the program is Autodesk LocationLogic. LocationLogic provides the infrastructure, application services, content provisioning, and integration services for deploying and maintaining location-based services. Benefits include:

  • Scalability and Performance
  • High Availability and Reliability
  • Security and Privacy
  • Interoperability
  • Global Content Integration
  • Simplified Application Development
  • Standards-Based

Like any good developer program, this one also offers developers a robust SDK. The Autodesk® LocationLogic™ SDK is a powerful collection of tools that enable developers to easily build location-enabled applications delivered over multiple channels, including J2ME, WAP, and HTML. With the SDK you get reusable components, extensive developer documentation, and sample source code that you can use to create a wealth of location-based applications. Benefits to the developer include:

  • Rapid, standards-based application development.
  • Add location to existing applications easily.

    LocationLogic offers developers the following suite of geo-services for delivering location-based services.

  • Spatial Query—retrieve content such as points of interest based on spatial relationships relative to a region, route, or subscriber's location.
  • Geocoding—perform forward and reverse geocoding.
  • Location-based Alerts—receive notification of location-sensitive events triggered from proximity relationships with other subscribers, points of
    interest, and location-sensitive information along a route, such as traffic information.
  • Mapping—deliver device-specific maps displaying points of interest, navigation information and highlighted routes.
  • Routing and Directions—generate traffic-aware routes and step-by-step travel directions for multiple travel modes and optimization criteria.
