Phunware adds new features to its Location Based Services with sample code enhancements

Phunware Inc (NASDAQ:PHUN) has released an expansion to the sample code of its Location Based Services module, allowing for the implementation of new features using the company’s Location and Mapping Software Development Kits. 

The new sample code features include walk time calculations, which estimates the approximate walking time of a route and generates an estimated arrival time; voice prompts, which configures app to voice commands through a smartphone speaker or headphones; and off-route alerts, which prompt users when they go off course and prompt them to get back on track.
