Wannatrak

Open Source GPS Tracking System. It allows to use mobile phones with J2ME support as mobile trackers and to show tracks on Google Maps online. For tracking you may use phones with internal GPS as well as with external Bluetooth device. Also some models of phones may use cell information ... [More] for defining location through www.OpenCellID.org and www.CellDB.org open databases. There is a web RESTful API for GPS data input. [Less]

django-locationtracking

July 12, 2009: In the next few days I will be checking in a backwards-incompatible change that will convert django-locationtracking into a GeoDjango app. The benefits it will be bringing include things like location awareness (it can find which (defined) position you're nearest - i.e. if you ... [More] create an "Office" item with a lat/lon it can show only a named position if you like/prefer.) and just being cool. Please use a svn rev. of 19 or before if you will not be using a spatial database and have a working GeoDjango environment set up. This app is built for those who desire (and understand the privacy implications) to add location tracking to their tumblelogs/sites. It is being extracted from a private site, and is capable of talking to instamapper.com (who have a decent iPhone app and Java apps for many other phones), APRS over amateur radio, the SPOT satellite tracking service, and (non-live) output files from hardware GPS loggers. A demo screencast is available at http://www.adamfast.com/programming/locationtracking/ The intro lightning talk video from DjangoCon 2008 is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61u9Y5Zi0_w&feature=PlayList&p=D415FAF806EC47A1&index=6 and begins at 14:51.

GXmap

GXmap is a small virtual globe and map viewer. Apart from showing an ordinary 3D globe view of the earth, it can also generate Azimuthal equidistant projection maps suitable for amateur radio (ham) usage. In the ham mode, the antenna direction and distance from one location (i.e. a radio station) ... [More] on earth to another is calculated and displayed. A NASA satellite image is used as the default map, and tiles from OpenStreetMap are downloaded automatically when needed. If a GPS device is connected (as detected by gpsd), the current GPS coordinates are displayed on the map as well. [Less]
