In this chapter, we will utilize Mapbox to create an AR fitness application prototype. The reason for this is that the main focus will be utilizing GPS, geolocation, and the Android/Apple device hardware to communicate with satellites and receive that data. Mapbox is an SDK designed to utilize the geolocation features of both Android and Apple devices within Unity. The software we will use in conjunction with Unity to make this happen much more seamlessly is Mapbox. Mapbox takes care of a lot of the most difficult portions of the work, so we only have to focus on our games and applications that utilize the software. We will learn how to use Mapbox with Unity to create a fitness application that promotes walking around the area in which you live. Basically, the user will tap on a random location and it will set the destination as that location. The user will then have to walk to that location, which will trigger the destruction of that...
