Traccar Client - use your smartphone as a tracker.

Traccar Manager - alternative to web interface to manage your trackers.

I think description on the website and stores clearly explains it.

You certainly did. Thank you again.

Hello Anton,

sorry to bother you but i would like to have some more clarification on this topic.

my questions are the following.

  1. lets say a tk103b is a gps tracker?
  2. the client turns any smartphone into a GPS tracker?
  3. the manager is used to track the tracker?

sorry to again ask this silly question, but it is all about understanding the wording correctly.

as in my messed up brain a tracker would the THE TOOL that tracks any gps device (so the manager) and NOT the gps device itself, as which i now think to understand it to be. Ofcourse I understand that you are not the one that choose the wording, but it is confusing (to me).

  1. additionally. as the tracker is ANY gps device does this mean the manager could track also a garmin / tomtom navigation
  2. and or a drone with a GPS antenna?

thank you for taking the time to answer this newbee question.

Kind regards, Matthieu

ps: thank you very much to supply the world with these great tools!! much appreciated!!

Yes to all 3 questions. GPS tracker is a device that you install on something or someone you want to track. Tracker needs to able to report location to the server, so not any device with GPS module is a tracker.

thank you for your quick response! much appreciated.
