About This Project
This is a real-time device location tracking web application built using Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, and Leaflet.js for interactive map rendering. It enables users to monitor and update device locations live on a map with smooth data transmission using WebSockets.
The core backend logic resides in app.js, where the server handles client connections, listens for location data, and broadcasts updates instantly. The project uses Node modules for dependency management and EJS as the templating engine to dynamically render data on the frontend.
When a device shares its location, it appears immediately on the map with a marker, and the corresponding coordinates and unique ID are displayed below. This project is perfect for applications like delivery tracking, fleet management, or real-time asset monitoring.
This Real-Time Location Tracker is a dynamic web application developed using Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, and Leaflet.js. The application allows users to track the live location of devices on an interactive map in real time. By utilizing Socket.IO for WebSocket communication, the system provides seamless updates without requiring page refreshes. The server broadcasts device location updates to all connected clients every few seconds, and the frontend map is instantly updated with the new coordinates. This project is perfect for real-time monitoring scenarios like fleet management, asset tracking, or delivery tracking. It can be further expanded with user authentication, geofencing, and even historical data tracking. By visualizing real-time location changes on a map and displaying device information such as coordinates and unique IDs, it provides an intuitive, practical solution for industries needing live tracking systems.
