Maps is one of the most useful features in Android, and today at Google I/O 2013, Mountain View announced a trio of new location services APIs to help devs to better leverage that strength. Fused Location Provider is the first, which brings faster, more accurate location signals while also delivering a low-power location mode that sips less than one percent of your battery while being used. Next is Geofencing, which will allow devs to set up to 100 location based triggers for app-based events. The third API is called Activity Recognition, which uses accelerometer data and machine learning to figure out when you’re walking, cycling or driving.Filed under: GoogleComments
