Live Vehicle tracking using Google Maps Javascipt API, Django, Python, Firebase.

Tools and API used:

• Google Maps Javascript API -- Accessing google maps.
• Django -- Python Framework as backend for fetching data and retreiving data from database.
• Firebase -- For getting realtime updates from the driver and his location.
• Javascript -- Refreshing the map (not the page) every 30 sec to be updated for the current position of vehicle.

Note : "This folder need to be kept inside the django-main-project folder and shold be installed in setting.py file."

Other functionalities and scope:

*I have hosted it on digitalocean server as a django app.
*If the vehicle is scheduled, running or stopped, its symbol will change in map accordingly as blue,green,red respectively.
*Marker has also infoWindow, so that we can know the exact location of the vehicle.
*In firebase, one dummy database has been taken, but as it is a realtime database, so can be updated by the driver about his location.
*Javascript is used for refreshing the map, every 30 sec., its better with overlay function of Google Maps Javascript API.
