Open-Source alternative to the 365GPS app used by some chinese GPS trackers.

Question #1

Can you elaborate on what this does? Does one still need the website or can you send the trackers data directly to the app?

Can you provide a compiled binary release, please?

This is just a re-implementation of the 365GPS app that some GPS trackers use. It uses the original server to gather the data.

In case you want to host your own server and stop using the chinese (and unsecure) ones, I could write a simple open-source version too. However, I'm not really sure if people would be interested on it since it would require having a computer turned on 24/7 or hosting it on some kind of cloud service provider (like OVH, AWS, GCS, etc)

YES! That would be totally awesome! Because these cheap GPS trackers only work so long, as the server is up and if someday their website is closed all trackers will be useless.

I have a tracker named "GF-21" and it uses the website 360gps.net.

@Iscle i have few questions, would be helpful if you answer

  1. how did you get networking-related data like API endpoint and all?
  2. do you have server-related API endpoints?
  3. do you have the document on how to configure the machine as in tracker to forward data to the custom server? my tracker uses gsm m2m sim to transfer data.

Hi,

I reverse engineered the official android app. You can also reverse engineer the website if it's still available. I think they use the same API.

@Iscle what did you use to reverse engineer the app?
