Custom Built GPS Tracker

Hello,
I built a small GPS tracker (http://www.phreakmonkey.com/2016/08/towl-telemetry-over-opportunistic-wifi.html) that outputs to a text file in the following format:

This file is continuously appended to as new data comes in. I am interested in plotting this data on my traccar server. I am not a programmer, but might be able to stumble through with some guidance. Anyone have any thoughts? Out of the above columns, I am only interested in the Lat/Long column....

I think you need some script to read the file and send data to Traccar in some format. For example you can use HTTP requests:
