Location tracking for android and apple

[easylifeforme]

Hey LTT,

 

I'll be honest I don't have extreme skill in programming only what I learned from taking the class my school offered. I'm trying to create an app that would allow staff at my high school, mostly the athletic trainer, to check into an app while on campus that would say where they would be. The way it would play out for the trainer is that he goes from sport team to team and it can be not to impossible to find him without walking all over the school. 

My question I have for you all is:

• How to I use location tracking for apps
• Also, how accurate is tracking (with in feet? miles?)

If you can point me in the right direction that would help so much.

The accuracy of the GPS is largely dependent on the device and the carrier.

I know my M8, on Vodafone is accurate within around 100 metres.

 

Why not just make an app that displays an image of your campus?

My current idea was to overlay an image of the campus and have the GPS coordinates with with it so when he goes within a certain area the app would update to show where he is on the map
