Multi-user GPS with simultaneous real-time network sharing wanted !! Urgent!

Hello everyone!


I hope this is the right section - I didn't know where else to put it.


Folks, I've been looking for a "map - GPS - service" - best as an app - for android for ages:


The app should be able to do the following EXACTLY (!) Things (NOTHING else):


- Any number of users (1-100 / 1000 ...) can access a (same!) Card via the app at the same time

- All users share their coordinates via GPS simultaneously with everyone else in this map (comparable to location sharing on whatsap)

- All (!!) users can see ALL (!!) GPS coordinates of all users (!!) (including their own) in real time on the map (possibly differentiated in color - but does not have to !!)


CAN THIS APP DO THIS?


-> addition! (Doesn't have to, but would be great!)

- Routes can be "set up" on the map by recording them, for example, from a first visit and then serving as a template.

- All users can follow this route (possibly with GPS announcement) using their own GPS signal are "located" by the course of the route, as is the case with google maps, e.g.

- Laws conditions from above Must be retained!


-> Optional


- Route evaluation

- User representation

- all the standard stuff


Does anyone KNOW such an app ??


Can the app offered here make this possible?


I would be very happy about answers.


Best wishes! :)

Hi Walther,

you wrote that the app should be able to do the following EXACTLY (!) Things (NOTHING else):

- Any number of users (1-100 / 1000 ...) can access a (same!) Card via the app at the same time

--- yes, should it be an online or offline map? Locus Map can display any if the map license is OK

- All users share their coordinates via GPS simultaneously with everyone else in this map (comparable to location sharing on whatsap), All (!!) users can see ALL (!!) GPS coordinates of all users (!!) (including their own) in real time on the map

--- yes, the feature is called Live tracking. If you need to create your own private group of users, you need to subscribe to Locus Tracking Premium service or get the Premium Gold version of Locus Map

- Routes can be "set up" on the map by recording them, for example, from a first visit and then serving as a template.

--- yes, Locus Map can record tracks and share them

- All users can follow this route (possibly with GPS announcement) using their own GPS signal are "located" by the course of the route

--- yes, Locus Map can navigate imported routes with voice commands

- Laws conditions from above Must be retained!

--- Locus Map is fully GDPR compliant

- Route evaluation

--- what do you mean by this? Route statistics? If yes, there are plenty.

- User representation

--- difficult to say what you mean by this

- all the standard stuff

--- ???

- Does anyone KNOW such an app ??

--- yes, we do
