Amazon Location Service GeoTrack Vue.js

Location data is a vital ingredient in today's applications, enabling capabilities ranging from asset tracking to location-based marketing.

With Amazon Location Service, you can easily add capabilities such as maps, points of interest, geocoding, routing, geofences, and tracking to applications. You retain control of your location data with Amazon Location, so you can combine proprietary data with data from the service. Amazon Location provides cost-effective location-based services (LBS) using high-quality data from global, trusted providers Esri and HERE Technologies.

This repo contains a Vue.js application that displays the users last positions reported in the past 15min in a map, leveraging Amplify for authentication. In the Amplify build process, there is automation that automattically creates the Amazon Location Services' resources and associate a policy to Amazon Cognito role for accessing them.
