This plugin can track groups on the global map at real time. It will real time show each memeber's location and name on the global map. You need to travel in groups and real time track each other's location on the map? You need to real time monitor your city buses or company trucks' location on the map? You need fleet management? You need to monitor vehicle performance, track location, and optimize routes for efficient logistics? You need to real time monitor your company's mobile devices' location? This website can do it for you. No need to install any software, hardware or equipment on your truck, car, computer or cell phone. If you do not open this website, you will not be tracked. When you want to do groups tracking, just use a computer or cell phone's browser to go to this website and choose a group. It's that simple! It can be a one-time use. It can also be used as a backup when your truck or car's GPS device is broken. You can also mirror your iPhone & Android onto Apple CarPlay for group tracking. After plugin activation, go to the "Settings" menu to find the plugin admin page.

By default, when you activate this plugin, it will automatically create a landing page for you. For some themes, if it does not automatically create a landing page for you, add this plugin root folder template-groupstracking.php file to your template folder. For example, if you are using theme twentytwenty, then add the template-groupstracking.php file to this folder: WordPresswp-contentthemestwentytwentytemplates. Then you can create a new page ( not a new post ) using this template. When you use the template method to create a new landing page, do not set the page title to "groupstracking". If you set the page title to "groupstracking", it could conflict with the page automatically created when you activate this plugin. Please read the documents in the "Documents" tab before using this software.

Groups tracking using a browser has some advantages over other GPS equipment tracking systems. User can close the browser to finish the tracking. This is very important because sometimes it is prohibited to track employees outside of work hours. Some other GPS equipment tracking systems need to install some GPS tracking equipment on the vehicle. So employees are tracked outside of work hours, which is prohibited in some countries.
