The RealTime Tracking App provides real-time location tracking using geolocation data. The application uses Socket.io for sending the user's latitude and longitude to the backend. The backend processes the location data and updates it on the frontend, where it is displayed on a Leaflet map. The app supports high-accuracy geolocation and marks pinpoint locations with interactive markers on the map.
- Real-time Location Updates: Continuously tracks and updates the user's location using the browser's geolocation API.
- Socket.io Integration: Utilizes WebSockets for real-time, two-way communication between the client and the server.
- Leaflet Map: Displays user locations on a map, with dynamic markers indicating their precise coordinates.
- High-Accuracy Tracking: Ensures precise location tracking using geolocation with high accuracy enabled.
- Error Handling: Includes robust error handling to manage geolocation access issues and other potential errors.
- Frontend: HTML, CSS, Leaflet.js, ejs
- Backend: Node.js, Express.js, Socket.io
- Geolocation: Browser’s native Geolocation API
- Map Rendering: Leaflet for rendering maps and placing markers.
