I’m happy to report that the latest version of GpsTracker now supports SQLite and PostgreSQL. This is all due to Brent Fraser, a fellow developer. One of Brent’s areas of expertise is working with databases and he has put quite a lot of work into porting GpsTracker over to these two databases.
Brent has also become the second developer on GpsTracker and we are going to be exploring some new technologies to enhance GpsTracker and make it more valuable to companies. What we want to look at next is using an off the shelf gps device like this that can be permanently installed in a car or truck. We are looking for something that is cheap and reliable and can be easily purchased off of amazon. This will allow small companies to track employees, trucks and other equipment without the unnecessary cost of a cell phone. Buying a SIM and mobile plan will still be required but not having to deal with phones will greatly enhance the usability of GpsTracker for companies.
Once again, I would like to thank Brent for his hard work and welcome him to GpsTracker.
is there a way to access some ones location history without access to their phone or email password

for some reason my gps tracker will not connect. I have tried re-installing and trying so many different ways to try and get this connect. It use to work perfectly but for some reason it will not connect any more 🙁

Hey Tony
Are you seeing rows in the database?

Hello Nick, thanks for this great piece of software and continued support and updates. I was able to install everything following your guidelines (which are very simple and clear to understand and follow) and it works great. I haven’t gotten any issues with any of the Samsung, Sony and HTC Ive tested it on. However some android phones just don’t seem to work with it especially chinese android phones like Tecno (mind you they have the legit Google play store and other location based apps work). Ive racked my brain for what could be the issues and Ive kept on zeroing in on the appID and session ID. Could it be that these phones don’t use appIDs and session IDs? what are the alternatives to them? say Imei? could it work and how can i implement it? Thanks.

I have no idea, there are hundreds if not thousands of different android branded phones. I doubt it is either ID, they are both using UUID which is part of java. What you need to do is install Android Studio on your computer and then run the GpsTracker on one of you suspect phones while the phone is attached to your computer (and Android Studio), then you need to log what is being sent to your website in Android Studio and see what’s going on. That is the only way.
