Anyone using DeLorme inReach devices for field crew tracking without the using the GeoEvent Processor?  I would expect this is possible given you can enable tracking with the Collector app for near real time location when crews are in a connected environment.

Adam,

I had a very similar question and the vendor gave me the impression that the API could be leveraged to be used as a message bus with the geo event server as the listener. This is a different approach that the Verizon push API for their network fleet tracking tools, but it should work. A response from InReach might help here. Here is their API blog:

Specifically the API does have KML functions  and those can be adapted into a tracking service.

Thanks for for the feedback, I found the KML Feed support doc, hopefully I can just added the URL to the webmap and that will be that......although I doubt it will work out that well.

Cheers,

The KML feeds has enough functionality to indicate last position of the crews.  Good enough for our purposes now, thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Adam
