Description

Master the backend side of Google Maps using Java and Spring Boot — and build real logistics, delivery, and location-intelligence systems the way industry apps do.In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to integrate Google Maps Web Services directly into your backend, without relying on any frontend map widgets. Every lesson is designed around real delivery and logistics use-cases, such as validating customer addresses, computing routes and ETAs, finding the nearest warehouse or driver, discovering restaurants, and generating map snapshots.Includes free 90-day access to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate for a professional development experience.By the end, you’ll be able to design and build production-ready mapping APIs that power modern backend systems. What You Will BuildThroughout the course, you will implement a complete set of Google Maps features including:> Forward GeocodingConvert messy human addresses into clean GPS coordinates for routing and ETAs.> Reverse GeocodingTurn GPS coordinates into readable addresses for tracking and delivery workflows.> Geometry & Spatial LogicCalculate distances, check service areas, find nearest resources, and build a spatial decision engine.> Routes API (Compute Routes)Generate road-accurate routes, distances, ETAs, step-by-step navigation, and multi-stop paths.> Route Matrix (Distance Matrix)Compare multiple drivers or warehouses and pick the fastest option automatically.> Places API (Backend Discovery)Search restaurants, fetch business details, and integrate place data into checkout flows.> Static Maps APIGenerate backend-only map images with markers, routes, and location snapshots. Why This Course Is DifferentThis is not a frontend Google Maps tutorial.This course focuses entirely on backend development, where Maps APIs are used for:Delivery logicETAs and dispatch systemsLocation validationDriver and warehouse matchingMarketplace restaurant discoveryAutomated route planningBackend snapshot generationAll examples use pure Java + Spring Boot, following clean architecture and production-style patterns.Who This Course Is ForThis course is perfect for:Backend developers who want to integrate Google Maps into real systemsJava / Spring Boot developers looking to build location-aware applicationsEngineers working on delivery, logistics, or marketplace platformsAnyone building routing, ETAs, restaurant search, or geospatial featuresNo prior Maps experience is needed — everything is explained step-by-step.
