MIT app inventor offers a plethora of components and sensors that can be used by young app developers with very basic knowledge of block-based visual programming. One such sensor is the GPS location sensor, which allows the app developer to communicate with the GPS satellite receiver present in the devices. App inventor also provides map and navigation components which, when coupled with the GPS location sensors, will provide the developer with a complete ecosystem that enables the young app developer to build novel geo-location and navigation based solutions.

This session covered all the basic building blocks needed to build the aforementioned solutions, including — Reading current GPS coordinates, embedding maps that can update dynamically and communicating with cloud databases.
