DIY GPS tracking with Mologogo

Editor’s note: This How-to was originally posted in the MAKE blog.

Earlier, there was a blog post about the cheap DIY GPS tracking service Mologogo, which lets people know your exact current location. To get started, you can pick up a $60 pre-paid Boost Mobile phone (or use another GPS-enabled phone), register on the Mologogo site, download a Java app, and you’re pretty much done. The phone continuously transmits your position to the Mologogo server (which uses Linux, Google Maps, and the Rails development framework) and you and your friends can see where you’re at in real time. I’ve hacked up tons of solutions to do the same thing, and this is simplest and cheapest– it’s pretty much free if you already have the phone, or $60 if you go pre-paid, plus twenty cents per day for wireless web service. Here are some photos and screenshots of the service in use.
