MapConductor is a neutral open-source interoperability layer for mobile map SDKs. In this hands-on workshop, participants will build simple Android and iOS map applications using MapConductor and learn how a unified API works across different mapping platforms.
What to Expect
In this hands-on workshop, participants will build simple mobile map applications using MapConductor. Step by step, we will create basic map features such as displaying a map, adding markers, and controlling the camera.
The workshop will demonstrate how the same conceptual API can be used across Android and iOS applications using Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI. Participants will gain practical experience using MapConductor and understand how a unified API can help organize mobile map development across different map SDKs.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have a working sample application and a clear understanding of how MapConductor works.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is intended for:
- Developers interested in building mobile geospatial applications
- Android or iOS developers who want to integrate maps into their apps
- Developers curious about cross-SDK development in mobile mapping
- Beginners who want to learn how map SDKs can be used in mobile apps
- No prior experience with MapConductor is required.
Basic familiarity with mobile development concepts is helpful but not mandatory.
Participants should bring a laptop capable of running either Android Studio or Xcode.
Before the workshop, participants are encouraged to install:
- Android Studio (latest version)
- Xcode (latest version)
- Git
Sample code and setup instructions will be provided before the workshop.
Participants may choose to work on either Android or iOS depending on their development environment.
What skills do participants require to have?:Recommend to learn about Jetpack Compose, and/or SwiftUI
I am a software engineer specializing in mobile mapping technologies. I have worked extensively with multiple map SDKs across Android, iOS, and web platforms. As a former Google Developers Expert (Maps), I created the Cordova Google Maps Plugin and founded MapConductor, an open-source interoperability layer for mobile map SDKs.
