Work vs Personal usage

greatwitenorth6 months ago

I'm wondering if Traccar supports allowing drivers to note a trip as work or personal? We use our vehicles for both, but only need to track work-based trips. It'd be great if it worked with a tracker that allowed you to press a button if it's a work trip and notify the Traccar server.

We don't support it currently.

Why not posting a new parameter to Traccar Server such as tripType = "WORK" or tripType = "PERSONAL" with a switch button ! so you can later filter it.

Switch button where?

huismori6 months ago

Physical switch button wired to a micro controller or micro processor, so if it is pressed then post tripType = "WORK" parameter and if unpressed post tripType = "PERSONAL"

PS : I am talking about the scenario using OSMAND protocol.

Maybe something similar to how Mileage Ace does it.

Yes it can be done easily.

I'm using the TK103B and it would be interesting to be able to repurpose the SOS button for this use.

This might be a very useful feature and I can contribute for adding it to traccar. @greatwitenorth, can you show us how Mileage Ace does that currently? A screenshot maybe?
