Real-Time Maps with JavaScript, Raspberry Pi, and HERE XYZ w/Nic Raboy

Hi JavaScriptLA fans. Hope you enjoyed the livestream we did with Nic. Hope you'll find time to watch it and come prepared as we are going to be diving a step deeper.

The Raspberry Pi is a powerful, yet portable, computer that is compatible with many hardware modules, making it a desirable Internet of Things (IoT) device. Pair it with JavaScript and Node.js and you have powerful applications on a very capable device.
HERE XYZ is a cloud-based data management service for location data, making it a powerful tool when combined with many IoT projects.
In this session, we'll explore how to collect GPS data with a Raspberry Pi and Node.js, then display it in real-time as the data is collected, on an interactive map using HERE XYZ.

Be sure to enroll for the HERE Developer Portal which will be used during the Meetup. http://developer.here.com/events/JSLAM
