title: Using Google Map Tracks API
body: <p>I have to develop a vehicle tracking system. I have gone through 'Google Map API' and Google Map Tracks API' tutorials. i-e;</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial" rel="nofollow">Google Map API (Web)</a>. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tracks/getstarted" rel="nofollow">Google Map Tracks API</a>.</p>
  
  <p>My basic scenario will be as follows:</p>
  
  <p>We have to track the phone moving in a vehicle. There should be some application on mobile to get its current location and send this info to the web application on some server for monitoring purpose.</p>
  
  <p>I am not asking for the code. I just want to know that</p>
  
  <p>For phone application: What part should I use (Google Map Tracks API or something else)? What is the best language to develop a phone application?</p>
  
  <p>For Web Application: Should I use the Google Map API? What is the best language to develop the web part?</p>
  
  <p>My only confusion is selection of right technology for right device? I am not sure about Google Map Tracks API (it should be part of phone application or web application or how to use this?)</p>
  
  <p>One more thing, I was trying to set the authentication part of google map tracks api in php and successfully authenticated on my localhost (desktop machine) using google+ acount credentials. Will this also (php) work on mobile?</p>
  
  <p>Note: I am open to develop in any language. </p>
