For learning purposes, I decided to create something useful for myself a real-time GPS tracker. After reading tons of documentation I'm still facing some understanding issues about the whole concept and how it works and it stops me to begin writing some code. I'm planning to buy this product with a GPS antenna and GSM card. I have more than a few questions. I'm planning to buy a GSM card with 100MB of data. Is it enough for daily data transfers or it has to be like n GB? Secondly, I know there is an official teltonika driver/app where I can set up everything, but the main question here is - how I will say to this GPS tracker 'listen, send all data to my server, which contains IP and port..' Will I need simply to fill up the fields with my server credentials in the GPRS section? Last but not least, I'm planning to use Laravel for it, I guess it doesn't make a lot of impact, but anyways, so basically to receive all the requests from the tracker I will have to create a global socket or something like this? that listens for incoming requests from this GPS tracker? Sorry if some questions sound dumb, but want to be sure I know most of the things before buying the tracker.

The bulk of these questions are unfortunately probably not a good fit for this site. You might honestly have to just bite the bullet, buy one and try it. For code, I'd start with [this](https://github.com/lbarrous/TeltonikaPHPDecoder). Personally I'd recommend skipping Laravel for now, and solely focus on getting PHP to talk to the device. Once you are comfortable you can start bringing Laravel into the mix, but don't over-complicate things to start. – Chris Haas Oct 25 '22 at 17:29
