Track a cellular GPS on Google Maps, InstaMapper



Want to share your location in real time with other people? Perhaps they are traveling, and want to show the family where they have been during the day, or suddenly want to answer the question "Where are you" more, er, visual?
Instamapper is an interesting and free alternative, taking advantage of advances in cell phones, Google Maps and mixing in the matter, gives us a web application that allows you to share our location easily.
The application is available on the iPhone, Android phones, Blackberries, and even some Motorola phones with iDEN (Nextel).



The service is very simple to use, just create an account Instamapper Then download the application to your phone. From Instamapper, receive a number, we have to enter the device. That done, it will all be ready to begin to see, in real time, the location of your phone anywhere in the world!
Under "Devices" will find the option of Sharing, which will enable them not only to share a link with the location of the device, but also may copy a code to paste into our blog, Facebook, or whatever.


It has some limitations (for example, the iPhone is mandatory that the application is running), but to be a free service, Instamapper works quite well.
