    Tracking my phone with GPS (and pics)

    GPSed screenshot I’ve recently found a new app for my BlackBerry Pearl which seems to do some great GPS tracking of my phone.  I guess I’ve been thinking it’s cool to have friends and family be able to “know where I am” at any given moment… perhaps get a better feel for closeness.  Also, the new app (GPSed) can store a route (collection of locations) and overlay that on to a Google Map.  Even better, when I take photos with my phone, another app (ITookThisOnMyPhone) will automatically upload the pictures and make them available online.  These two apps can talk to each other, so the pictures an up getting posted on the map right at the location they were taken!  Today was one of the first days I really started to get things working out smoothly.. so here is a link to the route/map/pics !  I’ve also got my account on Facebook linked up as well, so every time I create a new route, it’s posted for all friends to see.

    Of course, there’s also a LIVE TRACKING MAP right here on this site (rock808.com) also… just look in the lower left, under the Green Navigation column.
