I want build indoor tracking web application with angular 8.Can i use Here for the same.If yes,Do i need to use venue maps or normal map will be ok? Please share link for any indoor tracking example with Here.
I don't know exactly about Here approach, but Navigine provides an Angular-based library for indoor tracking application (by request).

everyone,
I have a completely untypical topic at this point and I hope that I am addressing the right people here.
I'm working on a personal project. I recently became a G Suite customer and would like to map my document and media management via Google Drive. The document management works well so far and with the help of Google Cloud Search I can easily find my documents across platforms.
Since I personally take a lot of pictures, I was wondering if I could use Google products to find a way to classify my pictures automatically. My approach was to use the label detection of the Vision API to store the 5 most likely labels as metadata. By using the metadata, I can then, when I search for example for architecture or animal, find all images that contain one of the following terms in a single search. The concept should of course be extendable to location and text detection.
I have already tried to create an automatism via pages like integromat.com that labels the photos, but unfortunately without success.
Well and now we come to the current situation. Since I realized that an active interaction with the Google Cloud is essential, I am looking for help from an experienced community. I hope that maybe someone here has a good or inspiring idea.
Maybe one more hint before the proposal is made. Google Photos is great and can do something like that, but it doesn't integrate with Google Cloud Search and managing RAW files would be terrible.
You can achieve what you want using the following approach:
Build a web/mobile app to upload photos to Google Drive or Cloud Storage.
Use the Google Vision API to fetch metadata from your image before uploading to Drive/Cloud Storage.
Use Google Cloud Search Rest API to index the extracted metadata along with the image URL to Cloud Search.
Create a custom Search Interface to search and display your indexed images.
Above steps should be able to point you in the right direction in implementing the solution. Let me know if you need further help with it.
I've been looking through a few different sites and places about geocoding. I currently have a module with Google Maps that I'd like to switch out to a free alternative, like OpenStreetMaps.
However, I've been hearing that these API's are now abstracted away even further, and services like Mapstraction exist that are API-swappable.
However, I haven't been able to find out what OpenLayers really is, same with Leaflet. What are they? Can you swap API's? Do they default to a specfic API?
This article could prove helpful: "A Process for Keeping Pace with Evolving

Especially the table on page 34 (page 10 of pdf) gives you a great overview of the different APIs and their capabilities.
I've made a small extension (plugin) to OpenLayers 3 which can use one of the following nominatim provider:
OSM
Mapquest
Photon
It is called OpenLayers 3 Control Geocoder Nominatim
You can see a demo here.
HERE maps for certain city like Chennai, India is very limited. I understand that lot of information can be added so that it will benefit end-user.
My question, can I create a new map using HERE and allow my version of maps to be downloaded? If yes? How can I do this
HERE Maps is a proprietary software so you can not try to recreate your own version of it. Trying to recreate a Map API by yourself is a cool idea, but it is also a good idea to build something on top of a technology or an application that is already existing. There are other Map API's out there like OpenStreetMap and Google Maps that allows user to create and add data about POIs (Point of Interests) and/or locations. The data on these apps are also open source, that is why the community are encouraged to contribute data of their own on top of the Application.
TIP: If you are really onto it here is a page that documents the stuffs the happened behind the scenes in developing the HERE Maps: http://360.here.com/2014/12/11/video-craft-science-behind-maps/
I wonder if someone here can help here ,in my web application I'm trying to create map section:
In my map section the objective is to show an indoor search like in the attached picture from Yahoo Maps does someone know how they Created the tenants names and level of the floor on the maps it self?

I think the best answer for this one is going to depend on which mapping framework you were interested in using.
If you're using Yahoo maps: Yahoo got that indoor map data from Nokia's here platform. As far as I know, they don't offer an editor for the indoor mapping data. The major mapping platforms often have some self-service mechanism to add or correct mapping data. If you were set on having this available and you were using Yahoo's maps, you might want to try to contact someone at Nokia's "here" and see how you might be able to get that to happen.
With that being said, you can do something like that with Google Maps as well. They have information and a way to add the interior layout of a building here. I haven't used it...I just know that it exists, so I can't speak to it in much detail.
There is also some support for this kind of thing in OpenStreetMap. I would post a link to an example of it, but stackoverflow says I can't post more than 2 links unless I have more than 10 reputation. (Sorry...I'm still relatively new to posting on here.)
I am in need of importing custom roads into Google Maps, (ie: new roads that may not yet be visible in Google Maps) and I would like them to be included in the Directions Service API. The approach I was thinking about first, was to use Google Maps Engine to import a shapefile containing the road data of what I need and create a map based on that. Then I would use the Directions Service on the data in that Custom Map. I am very wary as to if this will work, and as far as I can tell there isn't a trial version of Google Maps Engine that I can use to test this out. And I really don't want to purchase it if it isn't going to work anyway.
Does anyone know if this way will work, or if there is a similar service that Google provides that will work for what I require?
I assume I will need to implement my own directions service if I want to do this, but I want to see if there already is a service out there that will instead.
Thanks!
EDIT:
To try and clarify:
I want to import a set of custom roads obtained by an alternate source. These roads are in a shapefile format and are more up-to-date than some of the roads on Google. What my goal is, is to use the existing google roads, and "merge" the data that I have where necessary. Say in the far north of Alberta Canada a company has put some roads in for getting to their oil site. I want to import those roads and be able to tell our drivers how to get there. They would take a main highway that google already has, and then turn onto a road that doesn't show up on google because it is too new. This is where the alternate data set of roads would come in.
I want to find the best way to do this, while obtaining directions that incorporate those new roads. I understand that this may not be possible using google services, but I am asking in case someone else has come across this problem.
I guess I should update this to my solution, in case anyone else was wondering the same thing. The answer is NO, currently there is no way to import custom data like roads into Google Maps and have them be included in the directions service. I have talked to a Google representative on the phone, and they have let me know this.
I had to implement my own routing engine, which I did using PostgreSQL, PostGIS, and PgRouting.
