Live Truck Tracking

Has anyone done “live” truck tracking and displaying the current truck location in Aware on an Aware IM Google map?

I'm interested in this too.
What about google map is limited now without paying. I don't remember the limits but after a number of views you have to pay subscription.

Hi Gheorghe,

I understand the google map side.

What I don’t understand is where to read the “live” lat, lng cords from.

We track our clients vehicles and this is how we get the live cords.

The vehicles have a GPS device installed which transmits their location to a third party GPS provider.
This GPS provider has a web service which we call to get the coordinates.

Unfortunately, we do not display the vehicles location on a map inside AwareIM.
But if you get Google Maps working in AwareIM, once you get the coordinates, it should be easy to display the vehicle on the map.

I have played couple of years ago with traccar.org, but then Rest was not so advanced in Aware
They have an api here https://www.traccar.org/traccar-api/
