Hyde GPS Tracking

HydeTracking - Simple tool for roughly tracking dogs, kids, things etc. Monitor tablet (/phone) receives location updates from client phone (every 10s) and draws a polyline to show movement in real time. Cellular or Wifi connection needed. Application works behind NATs as it checks external public IP addresses which are needed in both sides. This needs small interaction with the external web page. Just feed in external IP addresses both to your monitor and client and you can follow location in real time. Application offers full privacy as nothing is stored to monitor, client or cloud. Ad hoc connection is created from scratch always. Application does not work if NAT is using random udp ports. Uses both GPS and NETWORK position methods. Location marker is blinking if GPS position available (continues even if gps is lost afterwards). Application runs it's services also when it's in background. Stop monitoring and tracking with back button.
