No project is complete without a road map of features to be added and some sort of timetable for implementation.
YourLo.ca/tion is free software, and is done in the spare and unpaid time of the developers. If you fee it is a worthwhile endeavour, please feel free to donate to support this project.
Below are a number of features we are working on.
Embedding
This feature would allow a company, agency or user to embed a custom location snippet on their own web site. This would make it easier to have a single URL for departments or emergency response agencies who tend to have rescue and resources internal to their organization. This would also allow the tracking codes to be private.
Unit Tracking
One of the main side projects to YourLo.ca/tion will be the ability to track a mobile phone over time.
The main use case for this feature is to show the location of a searcher or “convergent volunteer” during an actual search. Knowing the location of field teams is extremely valuable, but location tracking equipment can be expensive. Tracking the location of volunteers makes their task safer, and allows SAR managers to make better decisions and know where their resources are.
Voice Calling
This feature would allow the requesting agency to place a voice call to the subject.
