Traccar client further enhancements

sachin.terdale8 years ago

Anton,

Thank you very much for wonderful product.

I am planning to develop the traccar client app further with bit of changes and want to use it as tracking device. Please let me know info about few points given bellow. I am not pure technical person and just started to understand the Traccar.

  1. For android if device location for GPS has been turned of then it seems the traccar app do not work for tacking the location. Is there any other work around for it. is it possible to keep the device location in turned on mode all the time.

  2. Does the current traccar app transmit the data based on movement. Means it should send less data if there is no movement and frequency of sending data more during movement.

  3. We would like to extend the app to see live data also ( may be in future) . So do you have the webservices available for extending the current app functionality for further development.

  4. Sometime wrong co-ordinates being recorded with current app, Certain entries registered or inserted are completely of different area around (5-100 Km) apart. This has been seen for certain relatively few entries only. I have few such example with your demo2 server. Are you aware about this issue.

  1. If someone disables GPS in the settings, there is nothing can be done about it in the app. GPS location won't be available. Same applies for network location.

  2. No, but it's possible to filter data on the server side when device is not moving.

  3. There is a Traccar Manager app for that. Currently available for Android; iOS version is in development.

  4. Coordinates are sent to the server without any modifications. If there is an issue, it means the issue is with the device. What location provider are you using?
