App that tracks location from home computer?
 

Is there a way I can track my phone's location from my home PC?

When I'm traveling, it would be nice for the family to see where I am and how much longer it will be until I get home..

That could come back to bite you when you go to the hotel. J/k. I think My Phone has something like that.

This looks interesting (free):

But I wonder what 'Location Based Advertising' is? Does it throw up ads while you watch the map? Or on your phone?

Or maybe something like this:

You send a text message to the phone, and it activates the GPS and sends a text/email back with a link to a location on a google map..

Glympse is real nice, free and in the WM Marketplace; My review of it.

+1 on Glympse... Easy to use and it updates on regular intervals till you stop it.

I know "Latitude" in google maps can send your location to google earth so your friends/family can see where you are simply using google earth. Not sure how well it works though.

I've used Google Latitude to do just what you've mentioned. Works great and its free. The catch is that your phone has to have a good GPS fix.

Re: App that tracks location from home computer?
 

Dont think it has to have a gps fix. I got an estimate location via towers.

Re: App that tracks location from home computer?
 

I just meant that a GPS fix needs to be there and ongoing before Latitude will work properly. It probably didn't need to be said, but I though for the sake of clarity I would try to make that point. Maybe I've just muddied the waters. :???:
