## چۈشەندۈرۈش

Spotmap turns your WordPress site into a self-hosted GPS tracking platform. Connect
your devices, and Spotmap stores every position in your own database — no third-
party cloud required.

### Supported devices (data feeds)

 * **SPOT** (FindMeSPOT) — automatic feed polling via XML API
 * **Garmin inReach** — receives positions via Garmin’s MapShare feed
 * **OsmAnd** — receives positions via HTTP from the OsmAnd smartphone app
 * **Teltonika** — direct integration for Teltonika GPS routers and trackers
 * **WordPress Media Library** — photos with GPS EXIF data can appear on the map
 * **Post Locations** — assign GPS coordinates to any WordPresspost or page via 
   the block editor sidebar. Posts appear on the map as clickable markers that link
   directly to the article so readers can jump from the map to the full story.
 * **Zoleo** — if you have a Zoleo device please reach out to the plugin author

### Map & visualization

 * Interactive Leaflet map with full **Gutenberg block** support — type `/spotmap`
   in the editor
 * Wide range of tile providers: OpenStreetMap, Mapbox, Thunderforest, LINZ (NZ),
   IGN France, UK Ordnance Survey, USGS, OpenSeaMap, ESRI Ocean, and any custom 
   XYZ tile URL
 * GPX track overlay via the built-in **GPX manager** — upload and manage GPX files
   for planned routes, waypoints, and recorded tracks
 * Photo EXIF GPS display — images from your media library with location data appear
   on the map
 * Configurable line breaks when no positions arrive within a set time interval
 * Multiple feeds and devices on a single map, each with its own color
 * **Post location markers** — each marker shows the post title and links to the
   article, turning any map block into a navigable index of location-tagged content
 * Configurable marker styles and icons

### Filtering & interaction

 * Rich **time filtering** including relative ranges like «last 24 hours» or «last
   7 days», and absolute date ranges
 * Interactive **data table** linked to the map — click a check-in to zoom to that
   position
 * Initial map state options: show all points, zoom to last position, or zoom to
   last trip
 * Auto-refresh without full page reload

### Data management

 * **Long-term position storage** — your data stays in your WordPress database for
   as long as you want
 * Convert tracked positions to **GPX export**
 * Manage, move, and delete points from the WordPress dashboard
 * Upload and organize GPX files through the GPX manager

### Performance

 * Rewritten map engine in TypeScript for better reliability
 * Significantly faster rendering with large numbers of points compared to 0.11.

### Why Spotmap?

Most GPS tracking solutions lock your data into a vendor cloud. SPOT’s own platform
doesn’t even offer free long-term storage. Spotmap keeps everything on your server—
whether you’re documenting a sailing trip, sharing a bike tour with friends and 
family, or tracking vehicles. Your data, your rules.

### Security

### Message content and phone numbers

SPOT devices can include a phone number or personal message in their transmission
data. This information is stored in the database and may appear in marker popups
on your map.
 To overwrite this content, use the **Marker** section in `Settings
> Spotmap`. Setting a feed password in your SPOT account (and entering it in the
plugin settings) ensures that the message content is not stored in the WordPress
database and thus not accessible by the public.

### Live location privacy

The plugin offers a cosmetic filter to hide points newer than a configurable threshold(
e.g. 30 minutes, 2 hours, or 1 day). This prevents the most recent positions from
appearing on the public map.

**Important:** this filter is display-only. The REST API endpoint exposed by the
plugin can return all points stored in the database, regardless of the block filter
setting. There is currently no way to fully hide the latest positions from a technically
capable visitor. If hiding live locations from the API is a requirement, you should
restrict access to the REST API endpoint at the server or WordPress level.

### Map tokens

API tokens for tile layer providers (Mapbox, Thunderforest, LINZ, IGN France, OS
UK, etc.) are stored in WordPress settings and embedded in the page HTML at render
time. Any visitor who views the page source can read your token.

To reduce the risk of token abuse, **restrict each token to your domain using the
provider’s referrer/HTTP origin restrictions** (e.g. `https://yoursite.com/*`).

### Shortcodes

If you use a legacy text editor and require shortcodes, you are able to use the 
shortcode builder from the settings page of Spotmap. there you can interactively
create the shortcode you need.

The following shortcodes are supported:

**`[spotmap]`** — embeds an interactive map
 **`[spotmessages]`** — embeds a table
of SPOT messages and check-ins

For the full attribute reference, see **[README-SHORTCODE.md](https://github.com/techtimo/Spotmap/blob/main/README-SHORTCODE.md)**
on GitHub.

## ئورنىتىش

 1. Install from the WordPress plugin directory or upload the `spotmap` folder to `/
    wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu
 3. Go to **Settings > Spotmap** and add your first feed
 4. In the block editor, type `/spotmap` to insert a map into any post or page

## FAQ

### Can I show multiple devices on one map?

Yes. Configure multiple feeds and display them on a single map, each with its own
color.

### Does Spotmap work with the block editor?

Yes. Spotmap includes a full Gutenberg block with live preview. Type `/spotmap` 
in the editor and configure all options in the block sidebar.

### Can I filter the map to show only recent positions?

Yes. Spotmap supports rich time filtering including relative ranges like «last 12
hours» or «last 3 days», as well as absolute date ranges.

### Can I display photo locations on the map?

Yes. Upload geotagged photos to your WordPress media library. Spotmap reads the 
GPS EXIF data and shows them on the map under the feed name `media`.

### Can I pin WordPress posts and pages to a map?

Yes. Open any post or page in the block editor and expand the **Post Location** 
panel in the sidebar. Enter a latitude and longitude to pin that post to the map.
When a Spotmap block is configured to show the `posts` feed, all location-tagged
posts appear as markers. Clicking a marker opens the article, making it easy to 
build location-based content archives — travel diaries, trip reports, photo essays,
and more.

### Can I export my tracking data?

Yes. You can convert tracked positions to GPX files directly from the plugin.

### Can I add GPX tracks to show a planned route?

Yes. Use the built-in GPX manager to upload and organize GPX files. Tracks, routes,
and waypoints are displayed as overlays on the map.

### What map styles are available?

Spotmap uses Leaflet and supports any XYZ tile provider. OpenStreetMap is included
by default. Optional providers include Mapbox, Thunderforest, LINZ (New Zealand 
topos), IGN France, UK Ordnance Survey, USGS, OpenSeaMap, and ESRI Ocean layers.
You can also add any custom tile URL. Browse available maps at [leaflet-providers](https://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/)
and [OpenStreetMap wiki](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles).

### Is Spotmap suitable for shared hosting?

Yes, cpu and memory usage is kept intentially low so that the plugin works well 
on shared hosting. For future data sources like Zoleo, AIS and Flarm there will 
be a small web service that fetches points and interacts with your webpage

### Which third-party services does the plugin use?

 1. (optional) [SPOT LLC](http://findmespot.com) — [Public API](https://www.findmespot.com/en-us/support/spot-gen4/get-help/general/public-api-and-xml-feed)

### How does Spotmap compare to other GPS tracking plugins?

Spotmap fills a unique niche in the WordPress plugin ecosystem:

**vs. Trackserver** — Trackserver is the closest alternative and supports a wide
range of phone tracking apps (TrackMe, OruxMaps, µLogger, GPSLogger, and others).
If your primary use case is recording tracks from a smartphone app, Trackserver 
covers more protocols. However, Spotmap offers several things Trackserver does not:

 * **Satellite communicator support** — Spotmap works with SPOT and Garmin inReach
   devices (and Zoleo is planned), which matters for off-grid adventures where your
   phone has no signal. Trackserver only supports phone-based tracking apps.
 * **Teltonika device support** — direct integration for GPS routers and vehicle
   trackers.
 * **Modern editor experience** — Spotmap has a full Gutenberg block with live preview
   and sidebar settings. Trackserver is shortcode-only with 20+ attributes to configure
   manually.
 * **Built-in GPX manager** — upload and organize GPX files from the dashboard instead
   of referencing URLs in shortcodes.
 * **Photo EXIF integration** — geotagged images from the media library appear on
   the map automatically.
 * **Rich time filtering UI** — relative ranges like «last 24 hours» with a visual
   interface instead of shortcode parameters.
 * **Interactive data table** — click a position to zoom to it on the map.

**In short:** if you track with a satellite communicator or want a modern block-
editor experience with visual filtering and data management, Spotmap is the better
fit. If you need protocol support for niche phone tracking apps (TrackMe, µLogger,
OwnTracks), check out Trackserver.
