Blackberry GPS Tracking Tool
About
This project was created in anticipation of a road trip across the country that I am taking in July – August 2009. I recently bought a BlackBerry 9530 which comes with a built-in GPS unit and I though it would be cool to be able to track my progress across the country. The Blackberry sends periodic GPS updates to the website which uses a database to keep track of the data it receives. The data is then overlayed onto a Google Map which is then used to determine distances to major landmarks around the country.
Features
- GPS Location Tracking
- Geographic Photo Gallery
- Live Travel Statistics
- Simple User Comment System

Live Demo

I plan to release the source after it is more mature, the trip will be the test run for it.
