This is a great example of how one can layer an application on top of HyperTrack location event streaming platform to do display useful data. Once you have integrated the mobile SDK and started generating location events, you can start creating applications just like this one to provide richer experiences.
do you provide any other opensource apps?

#16Have you seen businesses, that want to track assets, move to smartphone based tracking instead of traditional GPS tracking? Any pros and cons?

#17Cool project. How would I use another map layer (don't have a google maps api key)? And why did you deploy to Heroku and not to AWS/GCP/Azure?
Heroku is the easiest to get up and running with. PaaS over raw store/compute when you are getting started.

#19Interesting from a tech perspective, but I would change "business assets" in the title with "employees" or "workforce". This is tracking people and their actions, not tracking "stuff".
Does Uber track the ride or the driver? App users are carrying out work and the business wants to track work. Asset track and telematics are product categories used in the industry where work is on the move. This app belongs in the same bucket.
