I want to build a application that has GPS tracking. I have found that one needs to create/enroll with a tracking server in order to provide this feature. Has anyone done this? What are the limitations with WX? Any API's work well world wide? I want this to be available via phone....both android and ios and windows phone.

Hi,

3 years ago I began to build such a system, but I stopped because work on another project.

I made a windows service that receives the connections of GPS tracking devices, communicating with each device and writes the received data into the database. I used one of the available commercial GPS devices for monitoring vehicles, and implemented the elementary functionality of the manufacturer's communication protocol.

I hope that I will have the opportunity (time) to complete the project.
I think the WX very suitable for this type (multiplatform) project.

I use units from http://www.atrack.com.tw/
They have a simple protocol (based on the AT modem commands).
The units in the vehicles are programmed to connect to the server using TCP so there is a full communication channel. This allows interrogation etc.
They can also send GPS data via UDP if required.
The (WinDev) server application records the data to a MySQL database.
I then use OpenStreetmaps to visualise this using a browser.
Has been working for over 5-6 years now and very reliable.
Good Luck
Steve H.
