Developers / Locus Live Tracking questions
July 23, 2021, 13:41:28
Hi,
i am currently developing an open source web server for the Locus Custom Live Tracking service. I have managed to setup Locus Map to send every parameter (latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, accuracy, bearing, current time, battery level, gsm signal and a token used for authentication) and respond with custom markpoints, correctly displayed by the Locus Map App. But, in the course of development I have encountered 2 major problems:

  • When an error happens server-side due to client's bad request or to server internal error, there is no way to notify the user with a text or number based error message. The only feedback given to the user is through the Locus Map App notification bar, where are displayed the number of successful requests on total requests.
  • Old markpoints are displayed: from my tests, I have found that if I respond to a request without a markpoint which was included in the previous ones, Locus still displays it on the map, even though this point shouldn't exist anymore.
Also, a feature that would be really good and could help to solve the second problem would be the ability to set custom markpoints' icons (from the Locus Map icon set).
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
