[GIS] Register and display real time tracking of the smartphone (gps) on a map

gpstrackingweb-mapping

I have 2 smartphones (android galaxy and iphone) and i would like to display the position, according to the gps coordinates, on a map.

Is there any app to download or any kind of service where i could register? Every time I start the app, the coordinates of the smartphone would be sent to some web service and few seconds later that actual position would be displayed on a map. The map should be accessed/viewed by a user from a desktop pc through a normal Internet Browser.

edit: any known open source projects where you could setup your own "tracking system" and expand/modify it?

Best Answer

Find my Friends for iPhone and Google Latitude for both platforms do that.

You will need an Apple account for Find my Friends or a Google account for Google Latitude.
