Saša Savić, Hao Shi · International journal of Computer Networks & Communications · 2010
GPS (Global Positioning System) has been around for many years and becomes currently the most widely used system in determining position and measuring distance of objects on earth .Integration of GPS receivers in mobile phones and other portable devices has provided a powerful tool for developers and consumers of GPS enabled product to be utilized in number of ways.Coupling GPS with Wi-Fi and 3G enabled devices yield an even greater potential for integration and innovation.In this paper, "TeamTracker" is a proposed team collaboration system that is created by a framework of components utilizing GPS, Internet connectivity and web services.It communicates in sync to provide users with a set of platform and device independent tracking and collaboration features.This paper also aims to further examine system architecture, components and Google API.This project exhibits an enormous potential for many individual applications range from search and rescue, archeological exploration, agricultural analysis, fleet tracking or general team collaboration.
