Some might be thinking now “what does this relates to the Telit GM862 module?”. And a simple answer would be “TRACKING”

We need to know a way to access our Database so that we can extract the needed data (longitude, latitude, seen satellite, and etc.). After getting all these information we want to put some markers on a map (ex. Google Maps or Bing Maps), to show us exactly where our device is located. In other words, we are going to put this module in a car, and using the application that we are going to do, we will be able to easily track the module from a computer at home. Sounds cool!

We will write our code using C#, and the database that I am using will be MySQL DB. I worked on the open source MySQL database because my web server is running on linux, and it has MySQL server installed on it. But defiantly you can have this application running on any type of database server out there like Oracle, SQL server, etc. Our application will be a desktop application not a web-based one.

First we need to download the connector that enables us to make the connection to the DB server. You can easily download this connector from MySQL website CLICK HERE
For me, I will be working on Connector-Net 6.1.3. After that, install the MySQL connector on your computer.
