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.
