Blackberry GPS Tracking

Hey,

I created a free site that you can use for live tracking of your Blackberry. You can track friends too if you give them permission and you can also view your friends location from your phone at http://bb.tech9computers.com/mobile.

Site is at http://bb.tech9computers.com

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

xoclipse,

I not only want to thank you for this but my wife and kids do also. now they are able to look at where I'm at when driving home from work. Due to suffering from mini-strokes, they worry about me having another one driving and can now see where I'm at if I'm not answering my Blackberry.

I just logged in at home and created a shortcut for my wife/kids to click on and they access my account to track me.

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

Looks good to me but I'm wondering how secure it is.

As far as security is concerned, the server that has all of the GPS data for everyone is locked down pretty well. No one without your permission will be able to access your location.


audit: I'm glad you found a unique and useful way to use Blackberry Tracker!

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

My wife has been asking me over and over if there was a way she could find me, while I am on the road, through my BB GPS. She wants to be able to see where I am, and not just know where I am. Thanks to you I have now set it all up and she can track me. Whoa, I better be good for sure now

Thanks again!

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

Does it continue to track when you leave the app? I tested it & it worked pretty well. I like it. I had to decrease tracking intervals, otherwise, my paths cut through houses & corners on the map. Is it possible to record the average speed, distance travelled, top speed, etc.?

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

I have no friends who would be like "wow, there's Nick running about". Maybe this weekend if I'm out all day I'll get this activated and you can spy on me.

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

Anyone had this working on a Sprint 8703? It doesn't seem to be able to get a gps fix. If I go into Telenav, it gets a fix fine. Any ideas?

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

Verizon disabled the GPS on 8830, which prevents such cool tools as such to be used.

Re: Blackberry GPS Tracking

Any plans on getting the m1200 GPS Puck support added to it? My 8300 doesn't have built in GPS so I need the Puck.

Fortunately, there are some other apps that support using any external Bluetooth GPS receiver with your 8830
