Hi I’m trying to make the below school bus app but just can’t make it work. Can anyone help me here? I’m new to Python and Anvil Works
Hi @yeeping50,
I think you might need to be a bit more specific about what you need help with.
What’s not working and what have you tried?
here’s a guide on how to ask a good question

Hi!
After looking at your code, i can see that you rely on navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() in browser.
Ofc i dont know your main goal for the application, but personally, i would not rely on the browser to report GPS data. I would use dedicated hardware to report GPS data to anvil - preferably you can setup a api endpoint in anvil in order to receive GPS data.
Fyi
I have made a fleet tracking application for industrial trucks (sadly not with anvil) and we used either Teltonika Routers or Rapsberry Pi’s to report GPS data to a server.
Good luck your app

I’m curious, what’s wrong with a browser? What about a native phone app reporting it?
Its not wrong, dont get me wrong - but i dont find it reliable to report GPS data 24/7 using web browser on a phone.
A dedicated/native mobile app would be ok i guess, especially for proof of concept or homelab.
Perhaps i have bad experience with android and especially ios devices - they always tend to have some sort of power saving feature that mess things up
Thats why i recommend dedicated hardware like raspberry pi - they are pretty cheap and you also have full control over the device.
