Tracker
----------------------------------------------------

Summary
================

     This service receives the global position of the robot and tracks the 
robots position.  The path history is saved, and can be viewed graphically.



Installing
================

     Extract the service to: C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\samples\Tracker.  
This service requires the SimRobot and RoboticsCommonExtras services.  Extract 
SimRobot to: C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\samples\SimRobot.  And extract 
RoboticsCommonExtras to: C:\Microsoft Robotics Studio (1.5)\samples\RoboticsCommonExtras.  
The included Visual Studio solution for Tracker contains all three projects.  
Open it, compile and run.


Usage
================

     Run the Tracker service.  This will also start the simulation 
environment with a test room and pioneer robot.  The simple dashboard 
will also start.  Drive the robot around a bit.  Then navigate your browser to: 
http://localhost:50000/tracker to display the path of the robot.  
The red circle indicates the robot and its heading.  

     This service can also work with my Logger / Player services.
