Pryme CheckPoint
Pryme CheckPoint is a real time location tracking software using Pryme’s proprietary GPS MIC. The Pryme GPSMIC is a two-way radio microphone with built-in GPS receivers; the GPS location of each microphones are encoded and transmitted via the two-way radio band to the radio base station. The software I created – Pryme CheckPoint – is a software that runs on the base station PC to interact with the microphones over the air.

Technical Feature Highlights
- Used Singleton object to store software settings storage, for flexible access throughout the system
- Created API interface to communicate with microphone via binary commands
- Implemented offline Google Map feature – downloads google map tiles and store them offline, then reconstruct the map tiles and redirect google map’s javascript requests to pre-cached local locations
Pryme EZTraQ Location Logging Solution
The Pryme EZTraQ (I & II) was built based on the successful TripBook products. In addition to the original trip logging and reporting features, it also features Photo Geotagging, GPS Trip Compare, Waypoints & Users Management.

Technical Features
- Google Map API sign up automation via .Net WebBrowser control
- Detail implementation of Google Map API’s polyline function to show multiple gps routes on the same map
- Used 3rd party photo browser library for fast deployment
- Multiple hardware support via Polymorphic object-oriented programming
GiSTEQ TripBook
GiSTEQ TripBook is a business application focuses on GPS-enabled trip tracking and creating mileage reports.

Technical Features
- Communicates with GPS hardware via Serial Port binary commands
- Google Map API integration for GPS route viewing and printing
- GPS route analysis and organization
- Multi-user management
- Sortable trip reports with column customization and data filters
- Export reports to Excel and PDF
GiSTEQ Guardian Real-time GPS Tracker – Part 3
Part 3 of the Real-time tracker project is about creating a Windows Mobile tracking client application.
Screenshots
Technical Features
- Implemented SMS (text message) event interception (SMS-PUSH) to receive alert from tracker and starts tracking client automatically
- Implemented a smaller footprint version of the tracking API to interact with trackers via GPRS
- Integrated static Google Map API
GiSTEQ Guardian Real-time GPS Tracker – Part 2
Part 2 of Real-time tracker project is to build a PC tracking client application and a central Web Server application to handle user login credential and location histories.
Due to schedule concerns, after I have designed the Web Service interface and functional requirement, we have outsourced the web server application part to an outside programmer. Meanwhile, I was designing and coding the PC tracking application.
Screenshots
Technical Features
- Created a step-by-step setup wizard to help user create their online accounts, setup the tracker, and start using the applications
- PC clients is capable of communicating with the GPS tracker via either GPRS or USB connection
- Designed a synchronization mechanism to synchronize tracker location history between the location server and local databases
- Integrated Google Map API for tracker location display
GiSTEQ Guardian Real-time GPS Tracker – Part 1
GiSTEQ Guardian is a real time location tracking solution. It contains several components:
- A GSM-enabled GPS tracker
- A location storage and communication gateway server
- A tracking website for desktop browsers
- A tracking website for mobile phones
- A set of text message (SMS) commands to control the GPS tracker
- A Windows Mobile Phone tracking client
- A desktop tracking client application.
The first part of the project is to build the API for accessing and setup the GPS tracker hardware via USB port

PC Setup Wizard Features
- Supports multiple GPS tracking device; auto detects which device is being setup and starts the appropriate process
- Converts hardware settings commands into easy-navigate user interfaces
- Flexible construction by using reflection, polymorphism, and inheritance techniques
GiSTEQ Phototrackr
This is my very first commercial work project – and it’s being sold worldwide. The main program was designed and coded from scratch using C++/CLR and C#; there is also a product activation module done using ASP.Net WebService.

Technical Features:
- Geotag JPEG images by examing the image’s Exif properties and compare it against GPS positions collected by a dedicated hardware
- Embed Google Map with Google Map API in the Windows application host
- Interact between Google Map javascript and the host Windows application through custom events & delegates
- Inter-op between native Windows API and .Net framework for communicating with GPS data logger hardware, including retrieve GPS data points collected by the device, and configure various recording settings on the hardware
- Analyze GPS location points to determine discontinuity between GPS tracks
- Reduce route drawing complexity and google map javascript loading time by using various line simplification and points reduction algorithm
- Integrates various web services API for additional functions including reverse-geocode and photo upload with location data
- Product activation modules coded using ASP.Net WebService
- Pro version features RAW image format reading
