Traccar Client

Traccar Client is a free, open-source location publisher for both iOS and Android. It's simple, reliable, and well-suited to fleet-style tracking where you want a uniform setup across many devices.

Install

Search the App Store / Play Store for Traccar Client (the small client app, not the full Traccar server).

Configure

Open Traccar Client → Settings:

  1. Server URL: paste your per-org URL from the admin GPS sources page.
  2. Device identifier: any short label.
  3. Location accuracy: High for foot/cycle, Medium for driving.
  4. Frequency: 30–60 seconds.
  5. Distance: 10 m for walking.

Toggle Service status on. Tap the icon in the notification area to verify it's running.

Battery

Traccar Client at 60-second intervals: 6–10% per day. Light enough to leave on permanently.

Offline behavior

Buffers up to several thousand points locally; flushes when network returns.

Notes

  • Traccar Client uses OsmAnd-compatible HTTP format — many third-party trackers also speak it, so the same URL can accept similar devices.
