Hi there.
I had posted something here, but have had no response. I'm not to sure how much traffic that forum gets, but anyhow, I own an E71, so am posting here as well.
What I'm after is an application that posts GPS information in real time, to my own webserver. There are several reasons for this, a couple of majors are privacy, and I have several GB of high quality custom Google Maps Sat imagery for where I am through another project.
In my mind, this would be a very simple app, all it needs to be doing is opening a URL every x seconds/minutes (ie, http://webserver/gps.php?lat=foo&long=bar&alt=ban&time=ana). Does anyone know of any app that will either do this, or a current GPS service that will allow you to host your own information?
Otherwise, is anyone keen on a "For the love" app dev project? I already have the php/mysql/googlemapsapi side of things worked out for different project, just missing the part for phone.
I'm pretty sure you are aware of Google Latitude and Nokia Friendview, right? They do exactly that, although not to your own server. Still, you can make it as private as you want (allowing only those you want to track you position) so privacy should not be that tough.
Still, AFTrack (http://www.afischer-online.de/sos/AFTrack/index.html) and Reperion (http://www.symbian-freeware.com/download-reperion-gps-trailexplorer.html) seem to be what you are looking for. Both are freeware. I never used them, so they might not work, but are still worth a try.
Cheers for your reply RickyS.
I spent a good few days on and off Googling to see if there was already an app that existed that did what I wanted before posting up this topic. AFTrack will definitely upload your data to your own server, but it doesn't appear automated, and the other three are locked in to their own services.
While I did mention that security is a major concern, I probably overreacted. At the end of the day it comes down to customisability. Having the raw data at your finger tips is always better than someone elses interpretation of that data.
