This protocol was originally used by the OsmAnd mobile app. It was later adopted and extended to be used by our official Traccar Client apps.
A simple GPS location message example:
http://demo.traccar.org:5055/?id=123456&lat={0}&lon={1}×tamp={2}&hdop={3}&altitude={4}&speed={5}
where:
demo.traccar.org
- server address or domain name (e.g. it can be your server public IP address)123456
- device unique identifier (e.g. IMEI number)Traccar server supports any HTTP method and the data can be passed as query parameters or form-based payload.
Some older versions of Traccar Client use a custom NMEA-based protocol.
