Send your GPS position in real-time to *your*server.

You need a self-hosted web server on which you're allowed toinstall this kind of script which records GPS coordinates(latitude, longitude) :https://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker/blob/master/server-side/gps.php

Then, do what you want with those coordinates. It's *your*data.
For example, you can put these PHP scripts on your server in orderto show your family or friend where you are on a Google map :https://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker/tree/master/server-side
It may be useful, for instance, if you're alone doing sport in anisolated area : in case of emergency (injury or failure), yourfamily may locate you easily on the map. Provided you have GPSsignal and data connectivity (4G, H+, 3G, EDGE...).

This app is NOT meant to be a stealth tracker, or to be forcedupon a user. So, please don't ask me how to hide it from the user,or how to prevent the user from closing the app.

I put a demo onhttp://herverenault.fr/self-hosted-gps-tracker/demo/i-am-here
To see your position on this page, enter http://herverenault.fr/gpsin the app on your phone (or tablet). It's an anonymous URL, so ifyou're not the only one doing it, you may see the location ofanother anonymous user.

Side-note: There are plenty of apps which do the same, forexample Open GPS Tracker. But I wanted an app
* which sends my position to my server, and only my server
* which does not download any map on my phone and thus does not goover my 3G plan
* the most simple ever : just enter URL, enable 3G and GPS and go!

And then, I wanted to do it just for fun. If you're interestedin it, source code in available onhttps://github.com/herverenault/Self-Hosted-GPS-Tracker under FreeSoftware license GPL v3.
