# Real-Time Tracker
This is a real-time tracker application built with Node.js, Express, Socket.IO, EJS for templating, and Leaflet for map visualization. This project allows users to track locations in real-time on a map.
## Features
- Real-time location tracking
- Dynamic map visualization using Leaflet
- WebSockets for real-time communication
- Templating with EJS

## Dependencies
- The project uses the following main dependencies:
- express: Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js.
- socket.io: Enables real-time, bidirectional, and event-based communication.
- ejs: Embedded JavaScript templating (if needed).
- leaflet: An open-source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps.
## Usage
**Real-time location tracking:**
- Open the application in your browser.
- The map will update in real-time as locations are tracked.
**WebSocket communication:**
- The application uses Socket.IO to handle real-time communication between the server and clients.
## Configuration
- You can configure the application by modifying the server.js and route files according to your needs. The default port is 3000, but you can change this in the .env file if needed.
