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:

http://smartphonetracker.blogspot.com/

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..

Re: App that tracks location from home computer?

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.
