Free GPS tracking service from 3D tracking

 

3d tracking is a revolutionary way to use the Internet to either monitor the movements of a live vehicle/person or to display a previous route that's been traveled. The vehicle/person's path is displayed as a line on either Google Earth or Google Maps with details of the speed at each point along the route. This allows you to follow the progress of a live vehicle, watching the points appear on the map as the vehicle moves. Alternatively you can view the previously recorded path that a vehicle or person moved along.
With 3d tracking you can create a login account by entering a username and password. We don't need details such as your name, home address or e-mail. Simply create an account, download the application and begin enjoying the world of 3d tracking.

The use of the 3d tracking is absolutely free. The developers say they will never charge you for either download or use of our applications, for transmitting data to our servers or for viewing live or historic maps through our website.
To use 3D tracking you’ll require a few tools and programs:
- a NMEA 0183 GPS receiver (for those non-technical folks out there, this is the standard type of GPS receiver)
- a device able to both connect to the GPS receiver and to run our application (such as a PDA or Mobile Phone). The downloadable applications can be found in the ‘downloads/support’ section.
- an Internet connection for the device mentioned above (this can be via GPRS, through ActiveSync, etc)

A possible example of a set-up for using 3d tracking is a Windows Pocket PC device (such as an Ipaq) that is used with a GPS receiver (Bluetooth or wired). The application will obtain the GPS data from the receiver and then transmit it back to 3d tracking servers (if your device is both a phone and a PDA (e.g. the i-Mate/Qtek range of products) then it can connect via GPRS. If not, you can transmit all your data to 3d tracking servers when you sync your PDA to your computer). Once on 3d tracking servers, you can log in at any time to see your traveled route on either Google Earth or Google Maps. Just select your starting date and time, as well as your end date and time, and 3d tracking systems will show you exactly where traveled and your speeds along the way.

UPDATE 3dtracking clients are now available for Free download at Freeware Pocket PC site and Symbian Freeware site
