AVL: Traccar

Traccar is a free, open-source AVL package. If your use case is primarily plotting device locations on a map and you can gather some moderate technical resources, it is a great option for you.

I like it for the following reasons:

  1. It has comprehensive support for a plethora of devices, including an Android (and soon iOS) client application, purpose-built trackers, and modems with embedded GPS.
  2. It is very easy to set up on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
  3. The project author is friendly and very responsive.
  4. It is reasonably well-architected and easy to modify, unlike its competitor OpenGTS
