Data forward
The DataForward plugin can be used to forward the unmodified data sent from a device to one or many other servers. For example a GpsGate Server setup for testing that needs some real world data. Or some other tracking system.
In this way you can use one GpsGate Server as a data switch. Selected sets of device data is forwarded to selected servers.
