Abstract:
This project proposes and executes a cost and user friendly location based tracking system
utilizing GPS and GPRS. The project system enables a client to watch over current and previous
locations of the target object or device on Google Map through android application. The real
time location of the device is pursued using Global Positioning System, the recorded information
about the location is sent to a remote server using GPRS technology through POST method of
HTTP protocol. That location information is saved in database for real time tracking and to
preview past location records. Utilizing Java, xml, PHP, MySQL with implanted Google Map
API an android app is created to set an user friendly environment for location viewing parsed
from mentioned database. This project is exceptionally valuable for vehicle tracking, vehicle
robbery situations, watching over young drivers by guardians (speeding and leaving particular
region) and other scenarios human tracking.
