For example, a running website (<a href=\"https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Realtime\">https:\/\/runsignup.com\/Realtime<\/a>) is using it to show the location of races where people are signing up. The RedLine ZipCode API (<a href=\"http:\/\/zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com\/RealTime\">http:\/\/zipcodedistanceapi.redline13.com\/RealTime<\/a>)\u00a0shows the zip codes being called by hundreds of applications. In both cases, the website wants to demonstrate the amount of activity and popularity of their site. \u00a0There are other use cases, such as showing the location of users of a mobile application, or the IP address location of users hitting a website.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an architecture diagram of what is actually happening:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Map-Widget-Architecture.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-443\" alt=\"Map Widget Architecture\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Map-Widget-Architecture.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Map-Widget-Architecture.png 800w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Map-Widget-Architecture-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Map-Widget-Architecture-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This service is <a href=\"https:\/\/realtimemapapi.com\/Documentation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">easy to set up<\/a>.
