Joe,

Make just mentioned the Open GPS Tracker recently.

It does require some soldering skills.

Hello all,

Long time reader, first time poster...

I'm working on a personal project to track my bike ride across the country
this summer.  I wanted to do something with live tracking but not have to
buy an expensive gps unit and subscription.  I'm also looking to carry as
little weight as possible.

So I was thinking, why not use my cell phone (or a cell phone that has the
potential to do the following)?  I'm thinking I could use some software (and
hopefully not have to write it) to triangulate my position via cell towers
(similar to how the iphone works).  That averaged position would then be
submitted somehow to my server which takes it and updates my map.

The problem is: is there such software to triangulate, ideally one that will
also take that position and send it out to something (email, txt, whatever)?

Any other ideas, advice, help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe
