This is an old revision of the document!
The C++ API contains the TrackAPI, which is useful for tracking applications. There isn't a lot of functionality, and the API is minimal in order to accomplish base tasks. It is possible that this API is extended in the future (e.g. later than mid-2015).
The API allows an application to list tracks, trackers (more is needed), and track positions. Using the StorageServer object, the application requests an instance of the TrackAPI. A track consuming application would use the method iTrackApi→getTracks(), possibly adding filters for serial or projects. A track uploading application would use iTrackApi→upload(). When uploading points the serial number should be an ASCII (do NOT use Unicode or UTF-8/16) valued string which uniquely identifies the tracking device. It need not be human readable (bonus points if it is). All serial numbers are limited to 32 characters.

virtual ~ITrackApi(void) {}

// true: Retrieves all fields listed in the GpsPos class
// false: Retrieves only time, latitude and longitude
