Determine current user (driver) location and store it?

Rennur

I need to track the current location of the user (driver ) throughout the day. The driver log in via built-in GPS-enabled mobile device.
Ultimately, displaying locations of all logged in drivers on a google map via a query.

Apart from storing the current location on login (Access level checkbox option), is there a way of capturing the location (address) through a process or scheduling?

Cheers

Hi Rennur,

I have been playing with this a little bit lately and I asked support if it was possible to update the location on demand ie in a process or from some business rules. They said it isn't but I could try the following:

"you can try changing Aware IM code directly - find the file AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/aware_ext_mobile/aware.js and search for autoUpdate. You should find something that looks like this:
var geo = Ext.create('Ext.util.Geolocation', { autoUpdate: false })

Change false to true:
var geo = Ext.create('Ext.util.Geolocation', { autoUpdate: true })

Then clear browser cache so that it picks up the changes."

I haven't tried this yet but my concern would be that if this does work and it continuously updates the location stored in the LoggedInSystemUser then it would render the logged in BO unusable as anyone accessing or editing the record would get the 'BO has been changed by another user.....' Message. I hope I'm wrong though.
Also I would worry about slowing the system as this would mean a continuous call to the server updating the BO?

Let me know if you manage to try this

Thanks

This would be a nice feature for next versions.
to be able to specify Yes/No to update location and to be able to specify the interval to update.

Thx Gabbitas for sharing this.....

Thanks for sharing the suggestion Gabbitas.

Looking at the geolocation code in aware.js, I can't see the setting for frequency.

Wonder if it's as simple as adding the frequency code.
var geo = Ext.create('Ext.util.Geolocation', { autoUpdate: true, frequency: 10000 })
