Latrine

Locus Map Android GPS live tracking server script

ScreenShot

Latrine is a minimalist GPS live tracking server script. It is very easy to set up and requires no database. All you need is a web server which can execute Perl scripts.

More information on the live tracking feature of Locus Map Pro can be found on its documentation web page.

Features

  • Tracking: Server receives data from Android device with Locus Pro installed and live tracking enabled.
  • Live following: Data sent by Locus Pro is shown live on map.
  • Multiple map layers: Currently you can choose between OpenStreetMap, OpenCylceMap, Hike and Bike (with Hillshading) and ESRI
  • Multi-user: Authentication with key

Functions

Authentication is done with a key. Anyone who knows the key can see and update the GPS location. Your key must be at least 5 characters up to 15 characters a-zA-Z0-9_.

Update

http://<SERVER>/latrine.pl?key=<KEY>&lat=<Latitude>&lon=<Longitude>&alt=<Altitude>&speed=<Speed>&bearing=<Bearing>&acc=<Accuracy>

Example:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/latrine.pl?key=OnMyBike&lat=45.09&lon=6.07&acc=5&speed=4.16666667
