Hello, I want to use a GPS tracker similar to OsMoDroid, but for Desktop PC, and i found nothing in google. Is it possible to track position provided by OSMo with a desktop PC ? Thanks. |
We have a rather long list of desktop applications here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Software/Desktop Some of them support tracking functionality, however you will have to investigate further yourself. OsMo is a quite new Service introduced in July 2014 where you can send your local position either to a central server in order to share it with a closed usergroup, or directly to another mobile device that displays the position of the first device. see http://osmo.mobi for more details. So far we have two apps supporting that OsMo feature, one of them is the well known Osmand.

Only a workaround: Try to install virtualbox or VMware or qemu on your PC and load an iso image from android-x86.org Thus you can run an emulated android system on your desktop PC. You can install then Osmand manually in that android system via the latest nightly apk from osmand.net |
you can use website to track any device position |
In the meantime there is a new opensource framework available for providing such a service: See http://miataru.com or Traccar. |
