Browser-Based GPS Tracking on ESP32 based Heltec Board – Looking for Suggestions
Posted: Thu Jul 02, 2026 6:46 pm
I've been experimenting with a GPS tracker that hosts its own web interface on an ESP32 using OpenStreetMap, so it doesn't rely on any cloud platform.
The current implementation displays live latitude, longitude, satellite count, and plots the travelled path during vehicle testing.
I'm considering adding features like geofencing, SD card logging, route smoothing, or LoRa communication.
Has anyone experimented with similar systems? I'd be interested in hearing what improvements or features you would add.
For anyone interested in the implementation, I've documented the project here: https://playwithcircuit.com/gps-tracker ... -v4-board/
