I know that many of us glide and would like to see where we went - or where we are.
TomToms and other nav aids are frequently mentioned. Wouldn't it be nice if you have a phone with GPS in it (like the AT&T Tilt) if you could use that to track where you were and are and what you did on a trip? This can track you real time, you can "find a buddy", know where your wife is etc...
Well - try this:

Here is the user documentation of how this works - and YES it is FREE!

OK - I downloaded this program and put it on my cell phone. It works easily and pretty wonderfully.
I can go to google earth and see live at any time where my cell phone is on the earth. I can track where my wife is - she went to Houston today. Should my cell phone be lost I can tell within 50 meters where it is at any time.
I can pre-plan trips or see where I was on any trip that I have taken. This program is highly recommended.
Should you be interested in REALLY finding your phone if lost even if they change the SIM card may I suggest:

but that really is another topic.
