Fleet tracking

Hello:
Can trackserver display several devices in the same map?
I need to track 100+ android devices and are thinking on using trackserver/trackme combo. My idea is to create 10 wp users and “asign” about 10 devices to each one so each wp user can see all their devices in the map at the same time and live track on demand one by one.
Upon login in on the front-end this users will be presented with a map showing their 10 devices current/last position, By clicking on the device name/Id user will be able to display that device tracks for the x last hours/days or time range or live track the device.
Does this sounds easily doable?
Thanks

Hi,
Trackserver can display multiple live tracks in one map, but a single WP user can have only one live track, because the live track is simply the latest updated track for that user. If you need 100 live tracks, you need 100 WP users.
The front-end implementation you describe is not standard Trackserver functionality either. You want to implement some kind of multi-tenant tracking service, it seems? Trackserver is not built with that use case in mind.
A WP page that is owned/authored by a WP admin/editor can have multiple users’ live tracks, but there is nothing that lets you select the x last hours/days or a time range. Trackserver can display tracks and optionally refresh the view every 10 seconds (which is then called ‘live tracking’), and by clicking a track, you can have the map ‘follow’ that specific user. It can also NOT display (filter out) live tracks that haven’t been updated for X time, but that’s about it.
Cheers,
Martijn.
