There’s nothing more I like than when you can merge new technologies together that started off for completely different purposes. 3dTracking is one such example.
Taking GPS hardware and Internet connectivity and coupling it with Google Maps, you can now track where you or someone else are, live. All trips are even recorded for later access to see where you, or someone else, has been. Who would have thought you’d be able to use Google Maps to see just where little Johnny is at 10:00 at night? Yes, there are other great uses for this as well but hey, spying on your kids is always so much fun. 🙂
For me, I’d love using this to track my client calls on a day-to-day basis. I could easily go back and see where I was on any given day and even map out future trips more efficiently by reviewing my various calls. And to have it on such a pretty map such as Google’s makes it nice, too. 🙂
The best part of this service is that it’s free. The founders of 3dTracking tell us, “We 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 Web site.” Free means free! Just too cool, you know what I mean?
