system

Hi everybody,

I'd like to develop a tracking system using an API of course (like the famous Orange API). the idea is simple:

I send a SMS (from my Web interface) to the person i want to track
The person's mobile terminal (GPS like this) send me back automatically the coordinates by SMS.
The sent information are displayed on the user's web interface.

The questions are simple:

How the terminal can send automatically the response?
How to indicate in the message that the information is for "user4655"?
How to make connection between the information and the database?

Thanks,

Regards.

It works, but there is a bit of latency when dragging from one direction to the other (without releasing the mouse/finger). So… >>> More
