TomTom gprs tracking, anyone done it, anyone want it?

We have a requirement for this, we are already using tomtom 3 on Axmins, it works very, very well.

We have a couple of customers who require tracking systems, integrated sat nav etc.

I thought we could get the sdk, write an app to take the sat nav position from tomtom, squirt it over gprs to our server and then use that info to show the location on a map viewable over the internet. The user would then be able to use a thin application to send a new location to the unit which the driver can then acknowledge, there would also be an option to auto route to the location.

Before I get a long way into this has anyone done it? If so can you give me details?

Would anyone be interested in such an application, if we develop it then we would be able to offer it as a service or stand alone app, would anyone want to use it?

I'd appreciate some feedback.

Hi David,

I would be interested in seeing an application that could track multiple users and display their positions online back at base via a website.

If you could develop that, then another idea would be for vehicles to be able to determine the whereabouts of other vehicles of the same fleet and track them within TomTom.

Regards,

I have developed a system that will do that for the company I work for, albeit running off a GPRS telematics unit. As this is not the place for a commercial discussion I will PM davidd.

Not based on TomTom, but anyone had any experience with this system from Directions?
