Socket.IO Realtime Courier Location for Marketplaces

Customers judge a marketplace by the moving courier marker. Socket.IO realtime courier location is a common way to push GPS points from the driver app to subscribers without rebuilding HTTP polling.

Practical constraints

• Throttle updates so maps stay smooth without melting batteries
• Authorize rooms per order — never broadcast every driver to every client
• Fall back to last-known point when the socket drops

Pair with maps on device

Realtime transport is useless without a map SDK and a clear ETA story. See live tracking features.
