Hi List,
since I was not able to find one on http://apps.owncloud.com/, I'm
thinking of writing a simple GPS tracker app for OwnCloud. However, I
first like to know if you think OwnCloud is the right platform for
this.
There are several open source projects out there [1,2,3] which have
most
of the functionality I look for. There is even an own protocol for
sending location-based information over the internet [4].
However, they lag some features:
1. I already run a OwnCloud server - why install and maintain another
one? :D
2. I want to share my positions with certain people (within a certain
time frame)
3. I want to transfer my positions encrypted
4. I want a simple cellphone app to send my positions periodically
5. I want a simple cellphone app to show me the positions of others on
a map
6. I want a simple web app to show me the positions of others on a map
For all features I want, OwnCloud seems the right choice:
1. Check
2. I think the ownCloud file sharing feature can be used for this?
3. HTTPS -> Check
4. Android/iOS Library -> Check
5. Android/iOS Library -> Check
6. OwnCloud / App Framework API -> Check
What do you think?
I love this idea! It would be great if I could sync such data to my own
cloud. Right now I am using/testing gps4cam to determine GPS-data for
pictures I take.
I really would look forward to it, I wouldn't need to transfer such
sensitive data to dropbox... :-)
Are you planning a optional offline mode as well?
Best regards
Marcel
