The installer is available for download directly from the main website. What else do we get? Windows, Linux and iOS installers The documentation is solid and comprehensive.

The tool works on Apache License 2.0 – a license allowing commercial use and source code modifications. The system stores tracking data and gives access to reports and historical data on tracked devices. We can define groups and areas, send/receive notifications and alerts about events. The server works with over 170 communication protocols and supports in excess of 1500 types of GPS devices.

Example Android and iOS apps at your disposal to show the service at work. Traccar is divided into two main modules – a multi-platform server and a web interface. Let’s see what this “modern GPS tracking platform” actually offers. All the examples and customer base shows that Traccar is a reliable service, created by specialists in GPS location services. Finding its use in all kinds of apps for vehicle tracking, locating devices, calculating the distance between users etc. The project’s official website says Traccar is used by thousands of companies from over 140 countries, which is both impressive and convincing when choosing a provider. Clearly, a lot of hard work and expertise went into this development. The Traccar platform is a product developed and implemented by a 50+ strong team of developers, both in-house and external specialists.

Traccar is actually a company specializing in GPS device tracking and software development ( Traccar Ltd). Traccar – what is it and where did it come from? The next step was to get acquainted with the system and verify its functional coverage of our requirements. Intrigued, we decided to concentrate on Traccar and dig a little deeper. It sported a very good rating and its creators’ assurances of the high efficiency of the server. The latter caught our attention being free, written in Java and continuously supported. Our search yielded 3 names that appeared to best fit these prerequisites: OpenGTS, GPSWOX, and Traccar. Continuous support and comprehensive documentation.Functionality range covering our requirements,.Open Source code – to enable modifications of certain functionalities as the project develops,.Price – free tool being most preferable,.In our research, we set the following as priorities: Popular servers, opinions, pros and cons, are all available in abundance. Good old Google yields more than enough in terms of comparisons. How do you find a ready-made solution to meet your needs? This led us to turn our focus to finding what’s at our disposal in terms of ready-made servers meeting the requirements. More work for us, and higher cost to the client. The downside of a custom solution was lengthy and resource heavy process of implementation.Īdditionally, a custom made server would require thorough preparation, highly optimized source code and continuous support. This would let us avoid the issue, where we wouldn’t be able to implement a functionality due to Open Source server’s deficiencies.

The obvious advantage here was full control over the server’s set of functionalities. First, we looked at the option of writing our own solution. Functionalities and requirements were put against capabilities each of the solutions had. To answer this we took the project apart for analysis. Is it better to create your own solution or use an Open Source server? Which one do you choose? We had to ask ourselves this very question when recently we got a project that required receiving information about devices’ location. We either develop our own solution to receive and send GPS data or use an existing service. There are two ways of creating mobile and web apps integrated with a geolocation server, like eg. In 2019 the prompt “Do you want the app to use this device’s location?” can pop up in a kids’ coloring app. 10-15 years ago hardly any apps used location. Is it a social app? Obviously, location is crucial. Still, it’s going to need location service. You might not even know it yet, your app might be at a stage where it’s just an inkling of a future idea. GPS device location – picking the right server for an Uber-like app, and why itCraft chose Traccar.
