Wow, this really is starting to look like that the NSA tricks used in “Enemy of the State” are becoming reality. With the new InstaMapper software and website everybody is able to track his own mobile device trough satellite images! It might not be as fancy as in the movies, but it sure is usefull when needed.

I lost my Nokia N95-8GB a while ago when I went home after a party. Since I, maybe, had a little bit to much to drink I couldn’t really remember where I could have lost it, I wasn’t even sure of the last time I really had it. Fortunatly for me there are still lot’s of honest people walking this earth and so I was called (on my home phone) the next day to hear somebody had found my phone in an empty train….. Oops! It slipped out of my pocket!

I know not everyone will be as lucky as me, and if it is stolen the one who did it probably won’t give you a ring either. Because of this I started a search for a GPS-tracker with web and/or database functionality. After viewing and testing a few I found InstaMapper was the best solution for me. Easy to setup and use.

How does it work?

  1. Install the software for your mobile OS (Symbian, iPhone, Blackberry and Windows Mobile supported)
  2. Sign up for an account at InstaMapper.com
  3. Make a trip and send some data
  4. Login at InstaMapper.com and watch it on Google Maps!

PS. This is another fun cell phone tracker, haha
