With Kuika's GPS Tracker feature, you can track users' locations in real time through the mobile application you develop. GPS Tracker provides live location tracking in your app by recording users' geolocation information at certain intervals.
Supporting mobile apps only, GPS Tracker is compatible with iOS and Android apps.
