Hi, everyone.
I'm currently doing my Final Year Project and a part of it involves tracking smartphones via GPS (with consent after all) using the website I'm developing.
Anyone knows how to design a simple GPS tracking system? preferably with HTML/JS/PHP since my website is based on this.
Your input is very much appreciated.

The requirements of the Web Page I need help with is: -A single Web Page (something like Google Map interface) -Map on the right side with a bar on the left that displays a list of mobile phones. -the ability to show the location of a smartphone when the corresponding mobile phone is selected from the list.
It would be great if someone could guide me in making this webpage.

You will need the user to keep the browser opened and keep on refreshing all the time to have the location updated. what you need instead is a mobile app that reads the location and send the data over to the server in a fixed time interval. the php/webpage is used to just display out those data. but such app would also be draining the phones battery fast. good luck

I'm have no knowledge when it comes to mobile programming. Or is there any open source tracking system which I can use?

you can use the built-in html5 geolocation in the browser. Here's the documentation on it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/We...ing_geolocationor you can use google geolocation api if you want to bypass the permission asking for your location. https://developers.google.com/maps/document...olocation/introif you want to compare each http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3579950...geolocation-apibut as far as I know, both aren't as accurate as the built-in mobile GPS, which I don't think you can access from a browser.
