Arduino based GPS tracking

tfoutfou23 days ago

Hi ,

pretty new to Traccar , nice discovery after Google stop location history and "Timeline" now suck

i can do pretty much what i want with an arduino , and having GPS and arduino available in numbers i plan to put one fixed unit in my car

what would be the best "protocol" or solution to communicate with my future DYI module ?

(currently reading some documentation while waiting for some direction and advice)

Thanks

The easiest option is probably this:

ok thanks , it look like the most "human readable"

don't know if i will need it (maybe in the future) , but can the communication be bidirectionnal ?

and can i add information in the POST request , like real odometer from the vehicle or battery state from an electric vehicle ?
how would i write it in the request ?

The documentation about OsmAnd look pretty slim , is there more information available somewhere ?

Thanks

You can look in the code, but you can basically add any attributes, including odometer, battery etc.
