i’m looking to build a mobile app that can send the user’s location via google maps to a second mobile app … this is for a car taxi service … the customer clicks “pick me up” … the customers gps location is then sent to our drivers iPhone/mobile app with address to pick the customer up.
can this be done in corona suite? if so, where would i start with this type of project?

Uber and Flywheel(formally known as cabulous) are two apps that do the same thing. [import]uid: 209281 topic_id: 34448 reply_id: 136958[/import]
Corona should be able to collect the GPS location of the user and using the network.request() API Call report the information to a webserver/database combination. Corona SDK should also be able to use the network.request() API call to fetch the data and display a map with a pin on it for the driver.
However I would think you would want to do most of the work on the server side.
