Using a different tracker

Post by Keegan »

What details would you need to make the iOS App work with a different tracker?

It's not so much the iOS app - it's the backend website that the iOS app talks to.

I would need to know the model of the tracker, then I would use that to try and find info on it's protocol. If the info is available I might be able to code support for it using their documentation. Otherwise I would need the tracker configured to send data to the server and I can try to decode it from there.

The box it was in is pretty basic.

The unit was given to me in working order and I access it through an App called TKSTAR GPS but this app doesn't accomodate multiple units.
Device model says TQ.

I'm not tech savvy at all so I apologise in advance.
Regards, Jim.

A lot similar on that page but not exact.

I opened up the case (should have thought of it earlier) and inside it says LK210-3G.

I have found some protocol info on TK devices - no guarantee that yours uses the same protocol, but it's likely.
Looks like a pretty nasty protocol, but I could potentially write something to get basic tracking working, and then improve it over time.
