About Traccar
Traccar is a GPS tracking system for vehicles and people. You run the server on Windows, Linux or other platforms, on your own hardware or in the cloud, and connect GPS trackers from a wide range of supported devices and protocols. A phone can also act as a tracker.
Devices are followed in real time on road or satellite maps from a browser or the Android and iOS apps. It sends push or email alerts for geofence crossings, harsh driving, fuel drops and maintenance, and produces trip reports that export to Excel. Managed hosting is offered as a paid option.
