Mastering Google Maps for Backend Developers
Course 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.
By the end, you’ll be able to design and build production-ready mapping APIs that power modern backend systems.
What You Will Build
Throughout the course, you will implement a complete set of Google Maps features including:
> Forward Geocoding
Convert messy human addresses into clean GPS coordinates for routing and ETAs.
> Reverse Geocoding
Turn GPS coordinates into readable addresses for tracking and delivery workflows.
> Geometry & Spatial Logic
Calculate 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 API
Generate backend-only map images with markers, routes, and location snapshots.
Why This Course Is Different
This is not a frontend Google Maps tutorial.
This course focuses entirely on backend development, where Maps APIs are used for:
Delivery logic
ETAs and dispatch systems
Location validation
Driver and warehouse matching
Marketplace restaurant discovery
Automated route planning
Backend snapshot generation
All examples use pure Java + Spring Boot, following clean architecture and production-style patterns.
Who This Course Is For
This course is perfect for:
Backend developers who want to integrate Google Maps into real systems
Java / Spring Boot developers looking to build location-aware applications
Engineers working on delivery, logistics, or marketplace platforms
Anyone building routing, ETAs, restaurant search, or geospatial features
No prior Maps experience is needed — everything is explained step-by-step.
Technologies You’ll Use
Java 17
Spring Boot
Google Maps Web Services (Geocoding, Routing, Matrix, Places, Static Maps)
REST APIs
Professional backend design patterns
By the End of the Course, You Will Be Able To:
Build backend APIs for geocoding, routing, ETAs, and place discovery
Validate service areas using geometry and spatial logic
Rank drivers and warehouses using distance/ETA matrices
