Demo account management problem

I vote for this feature and believe it would be very helpful globally to Partners

Hi there

We had problem when we participate in an exhibition to present Wialon. We had prepared demo account but the big problem was we couldn't demonstrate most system features like Notification with demo account at the moment. We asked Gurtam guys and they told can create an emulator for us something like what they use in their exhibitions. That was great! But a problem is remaining still. Such an emulator just repeated predefined events and in case a visitor ask about specific feature to present we might be in trouble. We decided to find a solution for this problem. One option was Wialon IPS Emulator. Unfortunately this emulator just send points based on Latitude & Longitude which you  enter in input boxes. It's so hard or even impossible to change coordinates manually and in case you the Superman can do it you will face more terrible problem! Cordinates you entered won't follow a real passage and it seems your emulated unit fly over buildings like a Plane or goes off-road like War Tank. In most cases demonstration units with this emulator just work for system element related to Inputs and Parameters and there is no possible way to trace a real exact route.
We recently did some changes in Wialon IPS emulator in a way that we think can be used as an useful demonstration tool. We just add a possibility to read a .wln file (exported from Wialon) and use this file as coordinates source, meaning the emulated unit in Wialon moves through real roads and passages and beside it you have an ability to set/send any value for Inputs, Outputs or Custom Parameters.

Here you can find a executable file, please test it and share your ideas. I believe that there is many great ideas we can add to it but you know, it takes time and we don't have enough time to do this. Any other partners may want to add more functions to it, ask me to provide them with source code. I will put the project in GitHub in nearest future.

Pavel Bushuyeu, any update?

John, did you check the emulator I shared? using it you can have many units in Wialon that each one go through a real passage/route and you are able to send any parameter to it. So, if you have notifications, alerts or... to trigger on some parameters you will receive them. Is it what you mean exactly or there is some misunderstanding between us?
