The script is designed to track your current location and estimate the distance to a specified geographical point. Once you reach the target location, it alerts you with vibration and/or a sound signal.

The script utilizes the termux-api package to retrieve GPS coordinates, control device volume (during an alarm), and enable vibration. Additionally, it requires the sox package to generate a beep sound and jq for JSON parsing.

To install the script, execute:

git clone https://github.com/BuriXon-code/Termux-GPS-tracker
cd Termux-GPS-tracker
chmod +x tracker

The script requires specific parameters:

• -lt | --latitude <value>
  (Required) Latitude of the target location, e.g., -10.123

• -lg | --longitude <value>
  (Required) Longitude of the target location, e.g., 50.765

• -r | --radius <value>
  (Required) Radius in meters to trigger the alert

• -d | --delay <value>
  (Optional, default: 15) Delay in seconds between GPS checks

• -p | --provider <gps|network|passive>
  (Optional, default: gps) The location provider method

• -v | --volume <value>
  (Optional, default: 40) Alarm volume level (range: 1-150)

• -s | --save <path-to-file>
  (Optional) Saves location tracking data to a KML file.

tracker -lt 12.34567 -lg 76.54321 -r 100 -d 60 -p network -v 100 -s /sdcard/route.kml

Or using an environment variable:

export LOCATION="-lt 12.34567 -lg 76.54321"
tracker $(echo $LOCATION) -r 100 -d 60 -p network -v 100 -s /sdcard/route.kml

For proper functionality, ensure the following packages are installed in Termux:

• Termux:API with termux-api package
• bash
• sox (for sound alerts)
• jq (for JSON parsing)
