How To Track Someone's GPS Location!

I made a web app that let’s you track someone’s precise location (Not IP location; I promise). It’s called "Clickstat".

It’s basically a URL shortener that logs information of those who clicks your link. Along with IP address,user-agent, this information includes GPS-Coordinates.

Step By Step Tutorial

To track someones’s location, go to www.clickstat.xyz. You will see the following page,

clickstat

Now,

  1. Type an URL
  2. Check the box that says,“Enable GPS Tracking”
  3. Click on the shorten button.

clickstat

Next, you’ll see this page,

linkPage

Here, you’re given two things,

  1. The Shortened Link
  2. An Identifier

If you click on the copy button, the link will be copied to your clipboard. Now share the shortened link with whoever you want. If they click the link, their information including their GPS Location will be logged.

Note: For privacy reasons, those who click the link will be asked to allow location permission. If you don’t want this to happen, you can keep GPS tracking un-checked and you’ll still be able to log their approximate location along with their IP-address and other info.

2. View Location

To view their location, you will have to go to the stats page,

statsPage

When the stats page opens, you will see the following page,

statsPageOpen

Here, you have to

  1. Type-in the Identifier that was provided while shortening the link
  2. click on the view button.

Then, the following page will open,

showStats

The information listed here is pretty self-explanatory. If you click on the IP-address, it will show information about it like in the following picture,

ipInfo

If you click on the GPS-Coordinates, the location will open in google map!

And that’s it!
