Download and install this on your android phone: https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger/releases
Once it's started go into the settings and turn everything off for logging besides custom url which should look like this:
http://<YOUR-IP-or-DNS>:3000/log?s=%SPD&b=%BATT&lat=%LAT&lon=%LON&a=%ALT
-
1.) On your PC clone or download this GIT
-
2.) Run the 'npm install --production.bat'
-
3.) In order for all of the APIs to work you'll need to edit the
config.js
, links are in the config for the APIs.After signing up for HERE.com enable REST, and it will generate an 'APP ID', click the
Create API key
button this is what you want to use in the 'config.js' file. -
4.) Also in the
config.js
is a section for a 'UNIQUE_CODE', if you want to protect access to the GPS-LOGGER either generate it or put in your own code, if not then leave it blank;Get a Code here => https://www.randomcodegenerator.com/en/generate-codes or make up your own.
Add
&key=<UNIQUE_CODE>
at the end of your GPS-LOGGER 'custom url' URL, this will secure your data and everything in turn needs this key to access data and send data.My Custom URL in GPS-Logger looks like this:
http://<YOUR-IP-or-DNS>:<PORT>/log?s=%SPD&b=%BATT&lat=%LAT&lon=%LON&a=%ALT&key=<UNIQUE_CODE>
If you want to access the gps-logger from outside your local network you'll need to add
?key=<UNIQUE-CODE>
to the end of the URL, for examplehttp://<YOUR-IP-or-DNS>:<PORT>/map?key=<UNIQUE-CODE>
This could be a neat tool to give to your most trusted MODs just in case something happens to you, they 'could' provide emergency services with your exact location.
-
5.) Open and Forward your ports, otherwise all of this won't work.
-
6.) Run 'npm start.bat' to start the gps-logger server
It should say something like this:
PS C:\github\gps-logger> npm start
gps-logger@2.0.0 start C:\github\gps-logger
node app
listening on *:3000
Now browse to http://localhost:3000
Other links to know:
- http://localhost:3000/map
is your regular map
- http://localhost:3000/thestuff
is a bunch of information set to auto refresh when new data comes in, good for OBS overlays.
- http://localhost:3000/map
is your regular map
- http://localhost:3000/map_rotate
is a basic attempt to make the map rotate depending on your current direction, you will need to add &d=%DIR to your Custom URL in the GPS-LOGGER app on your phone, before the UNIQUE-CODE.
ex; http://<YOUR-IP-or-DNS>:<PORT>/log?s=%SPD&b=%BATT&lat=%LAT&lon=%LON&a=%ALT&d=%DIR&key=<UNIQUE_CODE>
- http://localhost:3000/mod_map
this will show a map with all details and stats to help your most trusted MODs in an emergency situtation.
MODs can access this from:
http://<YOUR-IP-or-DNS>:<PORT>/mod_map?key=<UNIQUE-CODE>
Now just pull whatever you want into your OBS Scene, and Bob's your uncle. 👨
Please keep in mind I just left everything styled like I have it in my stream, to truly make it your own all it takes is a little tinkering with CSS.
