A Flutter package for live tracking and path navigation using OpenStreetMap (OSM) tiles.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

0.0.5 - 2026-03-19

Added

• Added PathCompressionUtils for optional path filtering, Douglas-Peucker simplification, precision reduction, and polyline encoding/decoding.
• Added EncodedPathModel to store encoded route data separately from the base PathModel.
• Added tests for compression, encoded model serialization, and PathNavigationScreen input handling.

Changed

• Restored PathModel as the original raw path model containing only path, distance, timestamp, and customPoints.
• Updated PathNavigationScreen so it accepts either a raw PathModel or an EncodedPathModel.
• Kept LiveTrackingScreen focused on raw GPS capture and path saving without automatic compression.
• Refreshed the README with the current API, package version, and optional compression workflow.

0.0.4 - 2026-02-16

Changed

• Added customPoints list in PathModel to store user-defined points along with path.
• Updated LiveTrackingScreen and PathNavigationScreen implementation.
• Updated main.dart file in example.

0.0.3 - 2025-07-05

Added

• Introduced real streams for live location updates using StreamController and StreamSubscription.
• Integrated StreamBuilder in the UI to redraw the map marker and polyline automatically when new location data arrives.
• Added a timeout (20s) to getCurrentPosition() to prevent waiting forever for GPS lock.
• Added an accuracy filter to ignore updates with GPS accuracy worse than 20 meters.
• Added a minimum distance filter (2 meters) to reduce small GPS jitter that causes false path points.
• Improved resource handling by cancelling streams properly when closing the screen.

0.0.2 - 2025-07-01

Changed

• Improved README.md with clearer usage instructions and stronger unique value statement.
• Added better function examples for uploading PathModel to Firestore or any custom HTTP server.
• Improved developer documentation for easier integration.

Added

• Initial release of osm_path_tracker.
• Added live tracking screen using OpenStreetMap tiles and flutter_map.
• Added path saving feature with distance calculation.
• Added reusable PathModel to output tracked path data.
• Added path navigation screen to view saved paths on OSM.
