Dive deeper into TomTom’s tools and features for fleet management applications. In this month’s blogs, learn about last-mile logistics for developers, fleet tracking, and how TomTom’s API and SDK features developers can be used to build fleet management apps. If you’re more interested in developing a side project, check out our tutorials on building a real-time transit map or displaying TomTom maps with Flutter.

####[Using TomTom Location Services to Develop Fleet Logistics Applications](https://developer.tomtom.com/blog/build-different/using-tomtom-location-services-develop-fleet-logistics-applications)

TomTom mapping and routing APIs and the TomTom Maps SDK have many useful features for developers building fleet management and logistics applications. In this article, we'll highlight the API and SDK features you can use to build these apps.

####[Real-Time Bart Commute Mapping, Part 2: Building a Web Map](https://developer.tomtom.com/blog/build-different/real-time-bart-commute-mapping-part-2-building-web-map-0)

In a previous article we saw how Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) supplied transit information to applications through APIs and General Transit Feed Specification Real-Time (GTFS-RT) data to grab station locations and train Estimated Time of Departure (ETD) data and use the TomTom Maps SDK to create a real-time commute map.

####[Displaying TomTom Maps With Flutter](https://developer.tomtom.com/blog/build-different/displaying-tomtom-maps-flutter)
In the last few years, Flutter has become one of the most popular cross-platform frameworks in the world. We’ve created a simple map application which uses an open source flutter plugin that implements the JavaScript Leaflet library functionalities and allows users to display a raster map from multiple providers inside the flutter screen.
