...is it still possible to get a userid?

done

what does happen when test phase is ended?

hm..
good question.
I think, so Menion have to build his own service

In the meantime . no expiration time...

I think, so Menion have to build his own service

Give Menion access to source code 

[menion]

Give menion some time . We tried to create such service with one external guy already in September last year, but after two months of hard communication (like, hey did you look on it? Yes yes, I'll write you ...), I give up. But Peter just in Wednesday told me - Immediately I finish this crazy new store, this function is what I want to do most

[berkley]

You shouldn't have talked to the external guy. You should have talked to Gynta 

[menion]

It looks so, or to you . But I'm not sure, if either of you has enough time to such complex task we want to do. Anyway we are little offtopic ... sorry

[gynta]

Anyway we are little offtopic...

Nope - we are talking about same topic -> live tracking

Give Menion access to source code

The access i really not the problem. I will send him whole stuff - if he want...
The problem is the source himself.  hrhr.
It's too "testing like" - if you know what i mean.
I just wait for the "Show my buddy inside Locus" feature in Locus.
Then i will improve/rewrite the code.

Hi, I would like to ask, it is possible to monitor position others (buddies) usersin in the Locus Pro. We are use Locus Pro in military paintball as navigation and monitoring of their own colleagues would be a great advantage.

"Yes" you can see his position,
But you can't "search" for him (like, where is bill?) and you can't follow him (fixing the cursor on his icon)
but it's possible to fix a guiding line on his icon.

...and you need a server for this massive data traffic,
because all members send/load positions to/from web.
Not a nice idea for my test server btw. 

[brongo]

thx
ok, I have a server for this project, and now I have to install or configure anything on this site?
And what does "But you can't "search" for him", because we play close to each other
and what "you can't follow him (fixing the cursor on his icon)", their position on the map is not updated?

[gynta]

...and now I have to install or configure anything on this site?

Yes, but i don't have a "todo list" for you.
If you are a webmaster, you will have no problems with javascript mysql and php webcode
All my experience and knowledge are also from god google
Maybe there is a little bit more info inside this thread

what does "But you can't "search" for him", because we play close to each other

In this case it's not important for you.

what "you can't follow him (fixing the cursor on his icon)"
their position on the map is not updated?

The cursor (cross in the map center) can't following his position.
Of course, you will see his new position icon after auto refresh time.

What ever, I think paintball is too fast for looking where is your mate
and the server/data connect is too slow..
So I recommend you to test on Locus Testserver...

I will show you a small video clip, how it could work inside Locus.
In this example I observe member "A" with guiding line and see how far away he is, in respect of my current position.

i've tried several times to set up live tracking on locus with this thread's information and it doesn't work. there is no data displayed and the tracking page only shows the ferris wheel for data, no database, etc

i've also tried with both spotwalla AND gpsies. none of these services seem to work with locus'  live tracking, but work fine via their own applications.  is locus version broken ?

I have just returned home from a bike tour and it definitely works.

However the points are linked together in some messed up order:

What version locus are you running, and would you mind posting some screen shots of your settings for me to reference please?

[szebenyib]

I have set it up exactly as in the manual, but here you are
(Always the newest pro from play store. (I have not tried tracking with the free beta version.)
