TrackReader/Android is a simple application which allows a user to connect to tracking modules such as the QStar 1000 or the venerable G-Ray. The application allows the user to connect to, configure, and download tracks from the GPS modules.

Protocol reference: QStar GPS Tracker

A job site is using QStart (or perhaps G-Ray) tracker devices attached to the various machine. At the end of each day, or perhaps a couple of times a day, a site supervisor needs to download the tracks from the trackers for analysis. The supervisor will use an Android device to sequentially connect, via Bluetooth, to each tracker, download the tracks and then move on to the next tracker.

(MC-A common scenario is the trackers might be collected by someone who is not the guy downloading them. They pull them all in and put another out as they charge the old ones. Two days + is a normal battery life.)

The supervisor has the option to download tracks to either the Android device, or download and then upload them to the Access server. Uploading will send the files to the “Tracks” directory of the selected project.

(MC-The server upload is obvious but how does the user get the files off if it's not to the server. I could see supporting “Share” intents so they could move them by a variety of intents right then. The files will be there if they need to use a file editor but that seems like the least preferred method)

Later in the office, a desktop user can use AgtekAccess client to download the files so they can be read into TrackWorks.

To be specified: What mechanism would be used to upload the tracks as if they are SimpleTrack trackers.

• Support G-Ray with same features.
