Location-based features are no longer just for frontend apps—they are the backbone of modern logistics, delivery, and marketplace platforms. This hands-on course is designed for backend developers who want to master the Google Maps Web Services using Java and Spring Boot. You will build real, production-ready APIs for geocoding, routing, distance matrices, and place discovery, focusing on solving practical problems like validating addresses, finding the nearest driver, and computing ETAs, all without touching a single frontend map widget.

This Course Offers

• Mastery of core Google Maps Web Services: You will learn to implement forward and reverse geocoding, compute road-accurate routes, and use the Route Matrix to compare distances and ETAs between multiple points.
• Practical skills in spatial logic and geometry: You will calculate distances, check service areas, and build a spatial decision engine to find the nearest warehouse or driver, essential for logistics and delivery systems.
• Expertise in backend discovery with the Places API: You will learn to search for businesses and fetch details, integrating place data directly into backend checkout and discovery workflows.
• Knowledge of generating static maps from the backend: You will learn to generate map snapshots with markers and routes, a valuable feature for order tracking and reporting.
