Real-Time Location Tracking

2024-07-15

Overview

Welcome to the Real-Time Location Tracking project! This web application is designed for real-time location tracking and monitoring. It utilizes WebSocket technology to provide real-time updates, displaying the location of tracked entities on a map. All connected users can view everyone's location on the map in real-time.

Features

  • Real-time Location Updates: Uses WebSocket technology for instant location updates.
  • Interactive Map: Displays locations on an interactive map using OpenStreetMap and Leaflet.js.
  • Multi-user Support: Multiple connected users can view locations simultaneously.

Technologies Used

  • JavaScript: The programming language used for both client-side and server-side logic.
  • Node.js: JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.
  • Express.js: A fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
  • Socket.IO: Enables real-time, bidirectional communication between the server and clients.
  • OpenStreetMap: Provides the map data.
  • Leaflet.js: An open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.
