This is an alternative to the Locus default live tracking, it displays more information and shows the current recorded track as well as the planned route. It also queues all information while offline and sends it to the server when back online.

It will record the current position from Locus every 10 seconds and every 10 minutes it will toggle airplane mode off, try to send the data to the server and then toggle airplane mode back on. This of course is all easily configurable in the scripts.

The server side scripts was based on uatschitchun's code.

The Locus-Addon-Tasker I'm using is a fork of Falcosc's with a few bug fixes and updated to the latest Locus API, I think you could get this working with Facosc's version as well, you would just need to modify the scripts where it queries the API for the GPS accuracy as the latest API version has split the accuracy into vertical and horizontal components.

If anyone wants to give it a go here are the projects:
GPSTracker server scripts
My Locus-Addon-Tasker Fork
Tasker project file

It does require quite a bit of technical knowledge to get it setup though so I do not recommend it for the faint-hearted. It involves setting up a website, compiling and installing an android app and configuring Tasker scripts.
