Check if in front of user/bearing in mapbox - andorid

I just want to know if there is a way to notify the user if there is a marker in like.. 100 meters in front of them, and I mean in front the bearing/degree of the user.

just like:

enter image description here

Or if there is a way to attach a triangle polygon's top point to the bearing/degree of the user?

PS: I'm creating an app to reduce traffic.

Solution

  • You could use the Mapbox Java SDK port of http://turfjs.org/docs/#bearing
