When Maps Think: Geotriggers & Spatial Awareness with ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter

What if your app could sense the world around it and respond before the user taps anything?

This talk explores how to build real-time, spatially aware apps using Flutter and the official ArcGIS Maps SDK for Flutter by Esri, the global market leader in GIS software, location intelligence, and mapping. Unlike lightweight community plugins, Esri’s SDK offers enterprise-grade precision, full geospatial services, and advanced capabilities like geotriggers, routing, satellite imagery, and background location monitoring through a Flutter-native API.

We’ll cover:

- Geotriggers that respond when users enter/exit spatial zones
- Offline-first awareness with background location tracking
- Voice navigation using Flutter TTS for real-time audio directions
- Satellite imagery and dynamic mapping layers
- Reactive spatial UX with interfaces that adapt to user position in real time

You’ll learn how to create apps that feel intelligent and responsive to movement and place. We’ll walk through a live demo that combines background geotriggers and voice-guided navigation, ideal for tourism, field ops, agriculture, or emergency response.

This session is perfect for Flutter devs who want to go beyond pins on a map and into smart, geospatial UX.
