GPS Tracker and Ruby on Rails
I’ve finally managed to get Ruby on Rails working in a development environment under Windows using FastCGI. It seems quite responsive with no problems yet. The first task I’ve put it to, is a new section of the site for GPS Tracking.
Insipired by Igloo in #slack and the work-in-progress tracker by Foxdie - trackmygps.co.uk, I have made my own version for this website. It’s just for a single user and only displays the current position and the previous 12 hours of data, but it appears to work quite well on a test trip I made to Uttoxeter and back.
It’s currently a bit clunky, using a laptop, 3G USB adapter and a Bluetooth GPS receiver; but hopefully next month when I get a 3G iPhone I’ll find some software that will work on it!
In the meantime, you can check out the tracker here: http://rails.spaff.co.uk
