Newbie question about Traccar

Hi all,
I am new to Traccar and have some questions about the way it works.
I have a customer that needs to integrate his fleet management and GPS devices and I have been advised to use traccar.

• Is the server app used to replace any Positioning Platform (for devices that are positioning platform free)?
• If I decide to download and test the system on my own, will I get all server options/functionallity as the paid server? I need to test it before purchase an option.
• Will the server work with GPS devices that connects directly to satellite (with no option for GPRS/GSM) without the need for a company that provides us the fees/data/positioning information?
• I can see 2 types of services provided. Account and Server? For a 5 GPS units what should I buy? What is the difference between Account and Server?
  On my understanding, server is the "cloud server" where app will be installed and account is for the number of units I will be using on the server... is this correct?

Thank you very much

Regards

1. Not really sure what you mean by this question.
2. Yes.
3. Which satellite does it connect it?
4. Account - account on a shared server. Server - full server with admin account. Number indicates number of devices you can connect.

Thank you.
In fact my customer has no tracking devices at this moment. I need to advise him on the best solution for using with Traccar and I really need them to be independent from GSM/GPRS.

I believe that GPS devices that are dependable on direct connection to satellote should have a service (position platform) that provides the pings and all required information for the GPS to work... correct?

So, my first question is related to this. If I found some GPS tracking device that uses direct connection to Satellite (free satellite) and that is compatible with Traccar, i will abble to use Traccar server as an Positioning Platform?

Thank you once again

Which free satellite are you talking about? I'm not aware of such thing.

I would strongly suggest you to buy an hour of Support Services from Anton. Best investment for your money. I'm pretty sure you will come out with the best information to properly advise your customer.

Yes @Ernesto Vallejo,

This is what I am thinking about.
I will get some additional information regardless GPS Tracking devices operations/functionality and activate a support service with Traccar.

Thank you very much
