## What it is
Traccar is an open-source GPS tracking server written in Java that supports 200+ GPS protocols and 2000+ tracking device models. It provides real-time location tracking, geofencing, alerts, reports, and a REST API, with companion web and mobile apps.

## Use cases
- track fleet vehicles in real time
- self-host a GPS tracking server
- set up geofence alerts for trackers
- turn smartphones into GPS trackers
- monitor driver behaviour and trips
- ingest data from many GPS tracker protocols

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, protocol-agnostic GPS tracking platform
- you manage mixed fleets of tracker devices from different vendors
- you want geofencing, alerts, and reports without per-device licensing fees

## When to avoid
- you only need simple map visualization without a tracking server
- you want a fully managed SaaS with no server maintenance
- your use case is indoor positioning without GPS hardware

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: stable
- function: http-server, api-framework, monitoring, alerting, geospatial
- domain: iot, self-hosted, logistics
- platform: windows, self-hosted, cloud, jvm
