LatYourLife: Applying multiple API services for task planning

Abstract

LatYourLife is a prototype application that uses web-mapping and mobile technologies in order to connect people’s daily tasks with geography. It provides the user with a new perspective on task planning. Utilising three separate API’s, the system helps to plan and schedule the day in relation to relevant geographic information. The main purpose is to illustrate, how information and online tools coming from different sources can be joined together to build a single system. After a description of how the service was built and what API’s were utilised, findings which became evident from building the system are given.
