Seems like you can get a GPS tracking app for my phone - it uses the onboard GPS to see my location / speed and then uses 3G to upload it. Pretty impressed I must say!

(if its not updating - i'm probably not moving...)

It seems to be parked in another bush! :eek:

Jokes, pretty nifty for keeping an eye on someone though?

/me awaits ultra bond wannabes tracking their mates & going OMGOMG YOU JUST TURNED INTO XXXXXX STREET DIDNT U!!!1111

Hmm, you just let potentially anyone on the internet know your exact location.

Pretty cool though.

Yes, thus why i've just realised how monumentally stupid it is to enable it at home

@ John - it's based on my phones location so that wont work

Yeah did this on my iPhone a few months ago as Dad wanted a cheap GPS tracking system that could be used to send positional data over 3G or slower connections. Good luck with battery life having the GPS running all the time though.

Thats sweet

Car Charger ftw

This is only practical in my car anyway - the G1's battery is beyond awful.

We have something similar for tracking our work vans, they have some quite inventive methods for circumventing the GPS signal!!!

Why didn't you get the HTC Magic? Smaller, more stylish...

You've been stood outside Tescos for the last hour ?? Lost your wallet ? or asking if anyone can spare some change

how come the blue line doesn't follow the road?

He walked to Tesco's on foot?

That might be bit crazy tho

I guess it only updates once every few seconds/minutes so it can't. Although it would be a nice feature for the software to automatically clip the route to the roads.

As far as i can see it updates instantly, see their demo car, but you have to have the application running on your phone(refresh page to follow it).

what store are you at?

[EDIT] Damn you luke you fecking ninja. I could see this having some rather silly consequences, I'm waiting for the "hey guys watch this" post followed by 100mph through a Tesco shopping center.

59mph ATM, good boy, keeping within the speed limit.
