In the next tutorial, using the Traccar Client app, you will be shown how to point an Android & iPhone to the server as a demonstration of how it works. This guide will show you how to set up the Traccar Manager server, which receives the GPS location updates from the devices (iPhone, android, dedicated, etc) and displays them on an interactive map. There’s a limit of one device on this server. I use Racknerds Virtual Private Servers to host my Ubuntu Traccar demo server.Ĭlick the link below to check the end result of this guide.įeel free to register an account on our demo server, log in and check it out.

Use this guide to install Traccar onto a Ubuntu 20.04 server. You can track vehicles, boats, trucks, kids, adults, pets via iPhones, Android devices, dedicated hardware and more. Traccar is an open source GPS Tracking platform which can locate any number and type of devices.
