ArcGIS API for Fleet Management

[AdelekeAkinsanya]

I am a final year student currently working on an ASP.NET fleet management system using web services as thesis. I need to be able to pass simulated position coordinates (longitude and latitude) and be able to triangulate the position of a vehicle on a map. I am a little confused on how to get this done. I will appreciate any information that can point me in the right direction please. Thanks so much.

If you haven't looked at the tutorials and samples yet, give it a shot.

As far as displaying a point on a map using location information: this is the right place!
You can map an object based on address or geographic coordinates (lat/long, in your case).

Example: If you have the latitude and longitude of a location, you could create a point object and display this point on a map using a geocoder.

Examples are here: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/#geocoding


However, I'm not sure about triangulation. You might need someone else to help you with that.
