Hi Guys

Apologies if similar has been on previously

My company has a mixture of Z10s and Curves. We would like to use apps which we can track the whereabouts of the phones remotely. I have heard of such apps but not sure if they are available for the Blackberry

Also, for my own Z10, I'm looking for a GPS app which can track a route as it is being walked. I am a keen walker who walks off road throughout the North of England, and I believe rivals to Blackberry have apps available which you can plan walking routes, use to measure distances of routes taken and generally speaking provide a full gps service for countryside walkers

Can anyone suggest suitable apps for the above please.

Many thanks

Don't know about the tracking company devices, but for your personal walking try endomondo

Hi leenick,

Please have a look at Mapshot10 (http://appworld.blackberry.com/webst...tent/34779892/).

The app allows you to send an SMS or an email to the device and the location of the device will be returned to you as a Google Or Bing map. The GPS is only activated when it receives the SMS or email with the magic keyword so battery life is not wasted.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.

View Ranger is available for free and it allows maps to be downloaded, although the number of "tiles" is limited - in appworld.

Hi nick for your walking I would suggest to try nogago tracks, I am using it for some time now and really like it. Good tracking and export option and low on battery usage.

Nogago has just a FREE Tracking app. I just used it today on a hike and sent myself the gpx track and here's the picture below. The tracking app does not contain mapping right there - you need their full program (which I see complaints about since what was free is now PAID). But I have a Garmin program on my computer which is where I viewed the track the app created and allowed me to send as an email.

Guys, you have been extremely helpful

Thank you all for your input

Another most of the time works way is to use BlackBerry Protect. Just make sure it's enabled then login though the site and you can track it. It's more personal use though.

The other day on a hike, while using The nogago tracking app, the darn thing kept me apprised of every minute of my hike. Neither I nor my friends appreciated this. I did not realize there was a setting and just closed it down! I did not get to test since that little disaster!

Here's the link if anyone is interested. And report results if it works or not

Strange, my free nogago tracking shows the maps perfectly and i do not have the nogago maps installed, its just a setting in the menu.

THANKS. And AHA. I had a CheckMark on Preferred Map Provider. So when I tapped the Map Icon, it wanted to go to the nagogo store and the fee was 7.99

Unchecking that fixed it except that the area I hiked would need a topo which is not showing but I will check it out more.

+1 for Endomondo. I use it regular for my runs. Very reliable.

As far as I know, there are two ways to track the GPS location of a cellphone.
First, you can find out the GPS location from the built-in GPS tracking program or if a program is available for download.
Each carrier offers its own services. You can learn about it by calling customer-service centre. Most of these carrier-offered programs come with a monthly access fee.
Second, find software to use with GPS feature offered. Mobile Spy is popular for thousands of various phones.
It is an easy-to-use and powerful Mobile Spy Software at a reasonable price. It tracks not only the GPS location, but also almost all the call activities, such as call logs, text messages, website history and so on. With Mobile Spy, you will easily know where the phone is and what the people carring the Phone is doing.
Mobile Spy Software - Mobile Phone Spy App you can know more from here.
