In this blog post, you will learn how to create an end-to-end solution for tracking the location of mobile phones with AWS Amplify and Amazon Location Service, in a React Native & Expo cross-platform scaffold. It doesn’t matter whether you’re tracking ten assets or thousands, Amazon Location Service Tracker will scale elastically with the needs of your application. It allows you to track the locations of your assets in a scalable, secure and easy to use way while integrating with other services and features of the AWS platform. The Amazon Location Service Tracking feature offers exactly that. One of the most important requirements of any location enabled application is the storage and real-time tracking of location based assets.

With Amazon Location Service it is now possible to build end-to-end location enabled applications at a fraction of the previous cost. AWS has recognized our customer’s need for a simpler, more cost effective, way to build location enabled applications and has answered the call with the recent release of the fully managed Amazon Location Service. This cost is primarily driven by building, maintaining, and operating these solutions which requires considerable domain expertise. Unfortunately, organizations relying on location-based intelligence for personnel or fleet-tracking have been limited by the high cost of available solutions over the years.

But personnel tracking in areas such as policing, ambulance, firefighting and other departments has been an integral part of the intelligence required for dispatching and public safety management for a long time. Location-based tracking applications have become very popular in recent years with the rise of ride-sharing companies and augmented reality “catch them all” style games.
