MacTrak for FindMeSpot (Spot Tracker)

Beschreibung

… See it at: www.ChasingTheSunrise.org/tracker … A WP plugin to save Find Me Spot (Spot Tracker) GPS route data and messages to your wordpress blog for backup and to display them on a Google Map via shortcode.

Spot Tracker will process data pings but will not save them or display them on the Find Me Spot website beyond a few days. This Plugin will save them from the Spot servers at regular intervals to your wordpress site and allow them to be displayed to the public or downloaded by site admins for backup. I developed this plugin for the interactive map of my journey Chasing the Sunrise; any problems or suggestions please email me, if it works and you like it please consider buying me a coffee and help me keep cycling 🙂

Required Notice – This plugin interfaces with the following 3rd Party services:
1. Google Maps API
2. Spot (Find Me Spot) API

What Third Party services does MacTrak use?

MacTrak interfaces with the following 3rd Party services:

  1. Google Maps for display of route and marker data in the viewers browser via the Javascript API interface. A specific Google API key is required (available free from Google – follow link on setup page) and is stored within you WordPress site. This key is sent to the Google servers to allow access to the Map object that is rendered in the users browser overlaid with your route and marker data as desired.

  2. Spot (Find Me Spot) servers for download of GPS tracking and message data via the API interface provided by Spot LLC (http://www.findmespot.com). A user specific Spot share page GLID is stored within your WordPress site and is used to retrieve relevant information from the Spot severs via WordPress\‘ built in external HTTP functionality. No other data is sent to external servers. Received GPS data is validated and stored locally within your website database for display, backup and future use as desired.

The plug-in does well what’s expected from it. I wish a few more options were available, like choosing between road/sat map, maybe filtering positions inside a certain perimeter (e.g. to not show a particular location within a city, but rather average all positions within 5km)… Also being able to edit points or lines (to change the color, for instance) would be great. Good job, in any case!

I coded this to comply with he WordPress guidelines so that my site would not be open to vulnerabilities using an unverified plugin as is available. This is up to date for latest WordPress guidelines and Spot interface unlike the other plugin that hasn’t been updated since around ’12. Many more features in the pipeline
