gps tracker

[mrs.reyes33]

hello everyone, i need some help im looking for a free gps tracking app for the torch that will let me track another torch and see exactly where they are at a certain time of day to make sure my kids are where they say they are going to be. im new to the blackberry so dont know much about what apps are good ive tried looking for one on my own but ive had no luck even if someone knows of one that isnt very expensive. thank you for your help every one

There is one program that I know of you can have them use. It does require them to do it manually though, so you will have to call them and have them send you their location. The program is called FindMeHere. Real simple to use. It uses their phone GPS location and put the location in the form of a url. For instance, http://bit.ly/eyQlkn. There is a send button they would press to send it to you. You would click on that and it will open up into Google Maps to show you their exact location. You may have to download Google Maps, I am not sure but that is the default program that mine uses. Hope this helps.

uhh, isn't this an invasion of privacy?
If my parents insisted on me having a tracking app on my blackberry, id much rather have no phone then being tracked every place i go...

i dont see how its an invasion of privacy they are my kids and they know the app is on there its not like im hidding it from them and im not going to be watching there every move. but then again its my personal choice and my kids had no objections to the app!

mrs.reyes33, hats off to you for being concerned about your kids and their where abouts. My parents did and I appreciate it. Kept me from taking the wrong roads at the crossroads of teenage life.
