Implement Point of Interest for devices

[antoniopaisfernandes]

A nice feature would be to implement Point of Interest (POI) for devices.

A POI would be a data structure with:

• device
• date from & date to (validity of POI)
• latitude & longitude
• icon type (to be displayed in the map)
• comments (to be displayed also on-hover)

I'm currently working on this feature. Anyone wants do add ideas/help?

Best regards, António Fernandes

something like geo-fence ?

[antoniopaisfernandes]

Still figuring out what can be done...

What should happen when device/vehicle comes to the POI? Notification?

[antoniopaisfernandes]

For that feature, it would probably be best to 'extend' an 50 meters circular geofence object. And would be that geofence triggering some event. So, for POI's sake, I would keep them just POI (like a simple visit point).

Nice idea, for example when truck is going to deliver something, man in office can get information that target is reached. Antoniopaisfernandes please let me know when you implement it successfully :)

Definitely notification should happen. To be in geofence zone is not same to arrive to destination. Custom icons to choose for POI just like for tracker pushpins would be nice.

I also like te have some POI for events, With geofences i can not add easy information. My beta is to add Devices and give them a custom icon and a GPS injection in the database. So i have a custom icon what stay on place and when i hover over it with my mouse i get some relevant information. Notification is for me not necesary. For that i can use Geofencesl

@tjeerd13 I hope POI will be implemented at some point in future.

Was this feature implemented?

[vitalidze]

@LennyDennis No, it was not implemented.

Cool. I am currently trying to implement a similar feature.
