How to build your own ridesharing app
summary
Step-by-step blueprint for a DIY rideshare: get a live dot with the Positioning API (GPS + GNSS + Wi‑Fi/cell fusion), turn lat/long into a pickup with the Geocoding/Places API (autocomplete + reverse lookup), compute ETA and cost from a Routing API (travel time, maneuvers) and narrow candidate drivers with an Isoline routing API (areas reachable in X minutes — example used 6,000s = 10min). Includes route snapping, intermittent driver updates, and offline map tiles; all built from HERE REST/SDK calls.
