GPS Tracker

Tags: GPS, Qt, Tracker

I've been working on a new GPS tracking solution (hardware/software combination) for some time now - almost ready for production!

Below is a screenshot of the base station application. It's a Qt application and is thus completely portable to any Qt supporting platform (runs already on Linux x86, Windows and Linux on ARM). The advantage of making a stand alone application is that tracking data is not kept on a third party server.

The green circle is a geo-fence in case you're wondering. The application allows for easy addition of vehicles and vehicle types, creation of geo-fences, GPX export and much more. We're planning a version for cars, but also one that will fit in the seat tube of a bike for example.

For the map, it can use both OpenLayers with OpenStreetMap, or Google Maps directly. Map tiles are cached to limit server load, and provide faster map rendering.

More later...
