Lat / Long from SMS straight through to App

[Andy Newland]

Hi Guys, 

Not sure if this is the best place for this but will try a couple of means. 

I have a standard cheap chinese GSM tracker. This tracker sends sms to my andorid phone that I would like you app to read and then display as a point on the map. (I could tell the app the  numbers to monitor via settings etc as each tracker has a unique phone number) 

The trackers sends a message as: 

lat: 23.232323 long: -000.744023 speed: 000.0 10/05/13 .... 

obviously the first part is the important bit. Would this be something you could adapt your app to cater for? I see you already have one that reads geo urls or similar so this would not be to complex a change. I could assist in this change as I am a software developer and have made several android apps by why invent the wheel again when you guys have a app that would just need a slight customisation.

I reckon this could be very sought after as these trackers are cheap and easy to buy but just dont have matching software for the phones.

I think I could include this in the SMS plugin.  What would make it faster to implement would be if you had a line or two of java code that 1) identified an SMS message as this type of message and 2) parsed the important fields out of it.  The rest would take very little time to include in the SMS plug-in.

For my benefit as well as others who may read this, what GSM tracker are you using and where did you get it.  Sounds like it might be an interesting way to track SAR teams...
