In an effort to improve the experience for integration partners, we're looking to get some feedback from you. Over the next few weeks / months, I'll be asking some small questions to help paint a clearer picture of use patterns from our top users.

What part of our SDK / API do you feel would benefit from added examples & documentation the most?

I think the Geotab SDK documentation is in a decent state, and I appreciate being able to create a pull request on github if I see room for improvement. I think the MyAdmin SDK documentation needs some work, for instance:
Could be a little bit more descriptive, no?
For the past years I thought the add-in generator had a lot of room for improvement, but I was glad to see the latest updates have addressed it, and more planned for the 2004 release (groups filters).
It's not documentation really, and I know it'd be complicated to achieve, but I'd really appreciate being able to develop and test map add-ins locally in a generator or runner of some sort. Committing every change, waiting for server update and refreshing mygeotab on every iteration is tedious.
There were also API improvements that were discussed previously to be able to select the fields we want to retrieve instead of systematically retrieve full inflated entities. Room for optimization there for large queries. Again, not really documentation related.

Hey @AaronD-Geotab-IICON ! You and LP might no better than me if we would not want to open up this can of worms with the entire community, but if you'd like I can ask this question on the main community page under the developers topic and we might get a few other suggestions? Let me know if you'd like me to do that (or feel free to post yourself)?

Let's hold off on that! Sometimes asking a question like this to a large group can create an expectation that we might not be able to meet.
This is more for the integrations team's knowledge so that we can have our internal discussions.
We might ask for something like that in the future, but I would need a Product Manager involved if I was going to a large audience.

Completely understand and thought that might be the case, but wanted to at least make sure you know you have options 😉

Swear I did not go looking or asking for document suggestions! But this one fell into my lap...
