Project Description

This project aims to develop a location tracker application using Leaflet, ReactJS, Express.js, and MongoDB. A location tracking application is crucial for tracking vehicles, assets, or individuals for different purposes, such as logistics management, outdoor activities, family safety, and more. Building a location tracking application can help provide location information and help businesses or individuals monitor and manage their resources efficiently. The technologies used in this project synergize to enable efficient location tracking and management solutions.

The location tracker application within this project will allow users to search for places and addresses using autocomplete and allow them to add, edit, update, and delete locations. It will also display locations and friends on the map and share locations with others. It will show the location coverage of the users using Leaflet polygon shapes and allow users to add friends and view their locations on the map. It will also generate a CSV file of location data and download the map as an image.

After completing this project, we will gain proficiency in application development using Leaflet, ReactJS, Express.js, and MongoDB. Moreover, we can implement web mapping and geolocation, integrate the database for location data storage, and build interactive and responsive web applications.
