Automated Customer Text/Email Delivery Notifications using Custom Geofencing and a Smartphone App Ru
I found a good smart phone app for $1.00 on the appstore that will assist with this functionality. It's called BTraced. I reached out to the developer and paid them to modify the outgoing xml to accommodate it to send OTM formatted XML that OTM will be read as a message. It sends the device ID, LAT, LON, and other pieces of useful info as an HTTPPOST using the Message XML formatting. Anyone can now use this now as I made it available to the public.
if you want some info on how to use the geofencing functionality I can give you some pointers. I created a custom trigonometric formula used to calculate the distance between 2 sets of Lat/Lon points that can be used as a function or a saved query in OTM. This is used for the geofencing piece based on the the destination Lat/Lon in OTM for the destination location and the iPhone's current Lat/Lon.
