I created a simple browser based app to show the location of your Electron Asset Tracker Shield on a Google map in realtime. Source code is at https://github.com/Hypnopompia/electron-assettracker-webmap Or you can just use it by logging in with your Particle credentials here: http://www.havocstudi…

Hi, What GPS unit did you use for this please?

So was the Electron sitting exactly where the Pin is showing or was it in one of those cars? Thanks for offering the code to do this outside of some other platform. www.Ubidots.com also allows you to setup this same live google map tracking with also logging the path of travel.

@RWB The electron was about 5 feet from where that map marker is.

Hello, I got the website part working but I cannot seem to get the spark to publish the coordinates. Would you have a dump of your spark?

Hi Hypnopompia, It looks good. I’m not suggesting anything untoward but I was a little wary (given all the internet scams etc) of the login box. I was just wondering if there’s any way for a developer like yourself of proving to users that what appears to be a Particle Login box at your link belo…

Well you can run it on your own server/laptop using the open source code shared :wink:

That’s a great observation @wwy . The login box that shows up on that page is provided by the official sparkjs library. https://github.com/spark/sparkjs That library is doing all the heavy lifting of displaying the login box and using the credentials to obtain an access token. However, I do see secur…

@Domasi The firmware I’m using is the example from the official particle library for the asset tracker: https://github.com/spark/AssetTracker If you’ve got that loaded and your electron still isn’t publishing gps coordinates, it’s probably because your GPS doesn’t have a fix on the satellites. Make…

@Hypnopompia Thanks for the info. I have had mine out there for 45 minutes with no updates. I am new to this and want to make sure I am doing it right. Once I get a working example I can figure it out…
