COALA (Context Aware Location Assessment) is a one-stop-shop for any kind of real-world-data (geolocation, time, weather, moon phases, etc. up to specialized crime data).
Use the COALA plugin to create in-app maps with streets, buildings, rivers, etc. Get information about buildings, restaurants & supermarkets. Create your own static or dynamic POIs, pick and match location, weather, moon phases, and more. Define terrains on a grid basis. Access a skybox with real world weather conditions and moon phases. This plugin also provides for GPS mapping and other tools. Create a real world product with all the tech in place and responsible use of data rates.
Please note:
- This plugin requires a COALA account, which is a subscription based service. You can find the COALA pricing on our webpage. Each new project starts on the Free plan and can be upgraded at any time from its Configuration page.
- This plugin includes an already functioning premade COALA project named “Paper Map”. This example project is restricted in how many requests are handled from the server though. For unrestricted access to all server functions, you will need to create your own COALA project in the backend.
- COALA services are currently not available for Russia.
