# Habhub tracker

![mobile tracker screenshot](resources/mobiletracker-screencap.png "mobile tracker screenshot")

A webapp for tracking high altitude balloons. Works an desktop and mobile devices.

The habhub tracker is a continuation of [spacenear.us/tracker](http://spacenear.us/tracker).

Checkout the [Live version](http://habhub.org/mt/)

## Features

* HAB tracking with [Habitat](http://habitat.habhub.org/) ([@github/ukhas/habitat](https://github.com/ukhas/habitat))

* Telemetry graph for each balloon

* Chase Car functionality

* Near realtime weather overlays

* [Daylight cycle overlay](https://github.com/rossengeorgiev/nite-overlay), for long flights

* Available to embed on any website

* Map tracker with Google Maps API 3

* Run the app natively on `iOS` or with Chrome's 'add to screen' on `Android`

### Geo position

Available only on mobile devices.

The app will ask for permission to use your location.

This is required for some of the features. It is **important** to note that

your location will not be made available or send to anyone. Unless, you enable

 the `chase car mode`, which will periodically upload it to habitat. _The app

will always start with `chase car mode` disabled._

### Offline storage

The app will ask to use offline storage. You will need to accept, in order to

use the offline capabilities. The app will cache all files making it available

even when there is no network coverage. Latest position data will also be stored

and used when you start up with no network. When you get back online, the app

will fetch the latest position data.

## Browser requirements

Any modern browser should be able to run the app. Including the latest version of IE.

This is also true for mobile, some build-in browsers may not work.
