About

ESP Tracker

Features
Read full description

Esp Track lets you monitor your ESP/MCU-based GPS tracking device on a live map. FEATURES • Live map: See your device's latest position instantly on an OpenStreetMap-based map. No external map API key is required. • Route history: The last 100 location records are drawn as a trail on the map so you can follow the device's path. • Device status: View telemetry such as speed, heading, satellite count, battery and signal level. • Flexible data source: Use the log file written by your MCU or your own Node.js API server — switch with a single tap in Settings. • Demo mode: Try the app with simulated location data, no server needed. HOW IT WORKS Your MCU (microcontroller) device with GPS + SIM reads its position and sends it to your server over GPRS. Esp Track reads this data from the API or log file and displays it on the map. SETUP 1. Open the app — it runs in demo mode by default. 2. Enter your own server URL in the Settings screen. 3. Your device starts appearing on the map. Esp Track uses open-source map infrastructure; your personal location data stays on your own server.
