If you are developing a custom device listener for your Map Suite GPS Tracking Server, the best way to start is by downloading one of these sample listeners that we've prepared to help guide you through the process. You can use any of our sample listeners as a base to develop you own custom listener for any device you wish.

You'll need Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or higher to open the development solutions contained in each sample listener package. These samples were developed against the Device Gateway SDK for .NET, the files for which are also included with each sample listener.

If you're developing a custom device listener with our Gateway SDK and are experiencing difficulties getting your device to post data to your Map Suite GPS Tracking Server, check the Gateway Message Log. Once you enter the associated account's API key and the device ID, you'll be able to see a complete log of all successful and unsuccessful communications between the Gateway and your device. This is extremely helpful in diagnosing and correcting communication problems.

Check the installation and setup instructions that came with your purchase of the Map Suite GPS Tracking Server for details on how to access the Gateway Message Log, as its exact location depends on your server configuration.
