DESCRIPTION
This Lightning talk describes an interesting use case for the notification service of FME Server. Food trucks that deliver fresh meals to business districts drive the same routes every day but arrive at their defined stops at different times. By sending the trucks GPS position to FME Sever via a mobile phone, notifications can be send to all subscribers of a pre-defined FME Server service once the truck enters a specific area. The notification message includes the daily menu information or special offerings of the food truck.
