MMM-TracCar

asimhsidd

@agp42 thanks for trying… as far as I know, Google changed their policy but it still provides developers with $200 worth of free monthly usage… so you may continue using it… anyhow, for the time, kindly share your log (console log)…

AgP42

Yes, they said it will be free minimum 12 month, so let’s see !

In fact with the auto-start I didn’t see the log initially…
To have clear logs only with TracCar I keep only this module on my config.js file and here are the console logs accordingly :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> magicmirror@2.4.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
> sh run-start.sh

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

The internet connection is working fine (all others modules can connect).
But it’s true that I had to change the internet configuration of the MagicMirror in order to use Remote-Control module.

To be sure this is not the cause of the error on your module, I re-use the inital config.js file, but still not working (but with different IP adresse on the log…) :

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

> sh run-start.sh

And here is my module configuration :

{
module: 'MMM-TracCar',
position: 'bottom_right',
config: {
url: "demo5.traccar.org", // Traccar Server URL (free server @ http://demo5.traccar.org )
username: "blabla@blabla.org", // Traccar Account username (email) (btw, there is a free account option too!) :)
pass: "passworddddd", // Traccar Account Password
gmapid: "keyxxxxxx", // Google Apps key
map_width: "300", // width of the map element
map_height: "400", // height of the map element
map_border_radius: "10", // border radius of the map element (optional)
map_shadow_color: "POWDERBLUE", // shadow color of the border element (optional)
}
},

Maybe the error is coming from this line ? :

url: "demo5.traccar.org", // Traccar Server URL (free server @ http://demo5.traccar.org )

But impossible to write the full URL due to the “//”…

Also of course when I connect from my PC to the http://demo5.traccar.org with my username and password, I can see correctly the location of my phone (so the “TracCar” part is well configured)

I hope I gave you enough infos :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thanks a lot !

AgP42

Solved ! :flushed_face:

Oups…

I “just” try with the full server address, including the http://, and it perfectly run…

So my mistake, sorry !

@AgP42

AgP42

Great module - thank you for sharing.

Is there anyway to start the Map in Satellite View as default and also adjust the default Zoom level. I want it to be a wider zoom from the current default.

Thanks,
G

iwaldrum

Bump - Is there a way adjust the default zoom level. I find that it is too zoomed in most cases.

maxs

Same question here about default zoom level. any option?

justjim1220

@maxs @iwaldrum you can add zoom: 75; to your custum css file
Or you can use your keyboard and press Ctrl > - to zoom out or ctrl >Shift > + to zoom in
