google maps - Should I code for browser or PC? (fleet management) -


I have to build a commercial vehicle fleet tracking system.

Each vehicle (some 100, maximum maximum 1000) will have a GPS and satellite transmitter and will periodically report its position. The situation will be stored in a database and used to create Google Maps.

There will definitely be other activities, such as security, log in, and possibly many contacts with other corporate databases (for the purpose of time for starting / stop time etc.).

Question: Pure GoogleMaps is probably a browser based app (Php and MySQL?), But with the additional functionality of a commercial vehicle fleet tracking system, is it doing better PC-based (Windows / Linux)?

Any other advice? Thanks

I think with the capabilities of modern browsers, with various mature client side frameworks, we

You should keep in mind that a web application automatically fixes some important problems for you:

  • Distribution: No need to distribute your application Just provide a URL.
  • Update: Upgrading and fixing problems in your software will be easier and faster if you distribute it through the web interface.
  • Security: Receiving from above, you
  • Compatibility: Your application will be able to work on any operating system that can launch a web browser.

Last but not least, remember that the Google Maps API is not free for this type of application. Article 10.9 C fleet explicitly prohibits the use of standard Google Maps APIs for management and asset tracking. You will need to use Google Maps legally for your application.

According to one (dated April 2008), it will cost $ 10,000 per year, which you get to track 100 vehicles. If you exceed 100 vehicles, then $ 24 per vehicle will be required per year.
