ATAK_push_cots VS FreeTakServer

I did a similar project in the past, I created a repo for pushing COTs directly to a device (without the need for a server): https://github.com/kylesayrs/ATAK_push_cots. It might be some use here.

This may be helpful. You should be able to do it manually as well. https://github.com/kylesayrs/ATAK_push_cots

The servers and ATAK devices typically communicate using TCP/UDP on certain ports. You can usually use these ports to communicate messages. I've set up a repo that helps you, for example, push cots to ATAK devices: https://github.com/kylesayrs/ATAK_push_cots

I've made a repo to send CoTs over UDP. https://github.com/kylesayrs/ATAK_push_cots. This code is meant for sending CoTs with attachments, but can easily be changed to send without attachments. Lmk if I can help with this.

I'd like to deploy a private TAC server. What's the main difference the FreeTAK server and the official release? https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTakServer and https://github.com/TAK-Product-Center/Server)

## Web-based client features * v1 (XML) and v2 (protobuf) CoT protocol support * SSL connection support, tested with [FreeTakServer](https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTakServer) and [Argustak](https://argustak.com/) * web-ui, ideal for big screen situation awareness center usage * unit track - your target unit is always in the center of map * RedX tool - to measure distance and bearing * Digital Pointer - send DP position to all other contacts

I also stumbled across something called CivTAK (SITREP for Apple) and setup a FreeTAK server for my friends and I to try out. That is if any of us have data! Anyone else try CivTAK in 2019 or plan on using it this year?

I opened an issue on Github: https://github.com/FreeTAKTeam/FreeTakServer/issues/188
