                <p>{% blocktrans %}Since we collect information from eduroam.org about the available eduroam points, we developed the closest point service API, which handles locating the closest eduroam service location.{% endblocktrans %}</p>

                <p>{% blocktrans %}The API receives the current location coordinates in a GET request, calculates the closest point through server-side triangulation and returns a JSON reply with its’ coordinates and a detailed description.{% endblocktrans %}</p>

                <h5>Applications</h5>

                <p>{% blocktrans %}Based on this API, we developed the closest point web page that allows users to find the closest eduroam location or a location they search for.{% endblocktrans %}</p>

                <p>{% blocktrans %}Potentials are limitless! You can build your own application either it is web or mobile or a widget for a wearable device.{% endblocktrans %}</p>
