[Nice to have] Open por for position request #6

Closed xcancerberox closed 5 years ago

xcancerberox commented 5 years ago

It would be great to have a open port were to send a position request, that way path generation could be done by another program in a different computer. A ZMQ pull socket would be awesome, but an open UDP port also would do the trick.

Great app :+1:

Thanks for your suggestion (and kind words). It seems out of scope to have routes sent over via a PC, a pretty niche feature from what you've described. Not to mention all the potential networking problems and security issues etc. of doing it remotely. It sounds like a bit of a middleman way (over-complicated) of doing things, unless I'm missing something here. What benefits would this have > the standard loading a route file to the app from your phone?

xcancerberox commented 5 years ago

I didn't saw the option for upload a path to the app.

Yes, is not a feature that will be widely used. I don't think that it is a security problem, is not the idea of this app to be use on development environment?

wesaphzt commented 5 years ago

No, adding routes isn't a feature at the moment. The idea wasn't for it to be used for development specifically, but it can be. It just needs to use the mock location development setting to achieve it.

Ok. Good app any way. Thanks for the work.
