Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to track a vehicle using a mobile app. This is what I was thinking.

Have a gps enabled phone that is connected to the internet and is called car1. Then users can log on to the app and then ask the app (using buttons and drop downs) wheres car 1. The app will then show the exact location of car1 on a google map.

Any idea if this is possible through appery and if so could you point me in the right direction for something to read please.

:)

Appery.io is a platform to create mobile apps. The app that you create is a standard HTML5 mobile app that runs in the browser or a native (PhoneGap) app installed on the device. You can build anything you want or know how to build. It's entirely up to you and how much programming experience you have (with HTML, JavaScript, CSS). Here is more: http://docs.appery.io/getting-started.

To answer your question, yes -- it's possible to build such app.

Hi Sam,

the good point to start is to understand how this tutorial is working :: http://docs.appery.io/tutorials/build...

and Google Maps API

Any app logic is implemented with JavaScript and HTML.
