GpsGate Web Services

Embed a live map on your web page!

The GpsGate Server AJAX API enables you to embed maps with live position data and tracks on your own web page from GpsGate.com or any other GpsGate Server installation.

To get started you can just “cut and paste” our sample scripts to display a map with live positions for a group of users on your web page.

Have a look at this simple live map sample

You can also build more advanced integrations with our AJAX API using javascript programming. More information about the technology can be found here.

Complete these steps to get started with your first live map:

1. Create a BuddyTracker account on GpsGate.com

Privacy

Privacy for GpsGate users is important. Therefore the following rules apply when you want to present data for a GpsGate user on your web page.

Group level:

• To receive data, you have to provide a group name in each request (i.e. it has to be known to your application)
• Data requests are only granted for public groups
• The group owner can limit access to to the groups data by explicitly naming (white-listing) requesting sites. All other sites are denied access

User level:

• Historical data, such as track data, can only be received for a certain user if the user has granted this for the specific group
