I need to develop a realtime tracker for vehicles that need to be displayed on a map and listen the locations from a websocket. What are the best Elm libraries for this?

At the moment, there’s not too much native Elm out there in this field.
[gampleman/elm-mapbox](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/gampleman/elm-mapbox/latest/) is a good wrapper for mapbox, which may suit your specific scenario.
Most other map focused packages have not been updated to 0.19. [kennib/elm-maps](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/kennib/elm-maps/latest/Maps-Map), [neilgall/elm-openstreetmap](https://github.com/neilgall/elm-openstreetmap), [trifectalabs/elm-maps](https://github.com/trifectalabs/elm-maps) etc.
There have been a few talks I’ve seen recently that have spoken about people working on things in this domain, but nothing has been released just yet and I can’t remember exactly who the authors were sorry. Having a good package for interacting with OSM tiles would certainly be one I’d be interested in myself!

I have a similar application where I use @klaftertief’s [https://github.com/klaftertief/slippery-slope/](https://github.com/klaftertief/slippery-slope/). He presented it at elm-conf 2017: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWIiXbn1FXU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWIiXbn1FXU). It’s not published to the package repository, so I use elm-github-install to include it in my project.
