Traceper Configuration

Traceper:

Traceper is a GPS tracking system via mobile phones, it is free, it is open source, it is simple and it does not require any GPS tracking device, it only uses mobile phones and we think that all mobile phones will support GPS in the near future. there are two software’s in the project. One of them is running at cell phones and sends GPS data to a server by using internet connection. The other one is a web application developed by using Google Maps API, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Ajax to show where the users are. Application running at cell phones is now available for Android and other versions of this application, running different platforms, will be developed in order to make traceper more usable.
