GPS tracking/Finder

Hello,
I am looking for an app for my 3G that will allow me to get the location of my iphone from somewhere else. I know there are apps out there that continually update there whereabouts, but I am looking for something that i could activate from elsewhere. (eg. My phone is stolen or lost. I go to my computer and look to find where it is...)
I hear a news story about a women who had her Macbook Pro stolen and she was able to find its location when somebody logged onto the internet with it. Is there anything like this for the Iphone?
Thanks all,

No such app exists at the present time. All 3rd party apps that make use of location services require approving the use of location services when using the app, and 3rd party apps cannot run in the background so there is no 3rd party app that continually updates your whereabouts unless such an app is launched and being used after location services is approved for use with the app.

How can I use my iPhone as a GPS Tracker?

My Phone:
iPhone4S
iOS 8.0.2
How can I use my iPhone as a GPS Tracker? My requirement is not just finding the iPhone using find my iPhone but to use it as a GPS Tracking Device. I wish to enable GPS on my iPhone and want somebody to locate my movement continuously. Earlier I used to do this using my Nokia Phone with Google Latitude. Currently I know Google Plus has a Location Sharing Option also but that doesn't give location details continuously. Any help?

GPS tracking in labview.

I work with GPS simulation toolkit for labview.
I want GPS tracking in other PC with USB GPS receiver and drawing track.
It's possible? Some google maps/earth working API. I try some API, but it doesnt work.
I use LV 2012 student edition.
Thanks for reply.

Hello lacita,
You can take a look at this example I found on the NI community page, in case you haven't already. There's also a lot of shipping examples (in LabVIEW click on Help> Find Examples and search for "GPS") that are GPS related and some of them are specifically designed for Garmin ones.
What USB GPS receiver are you using? What API did you try?

I have new 4s. If phone is stolen do i have GPS tracking feature?

I recently acquired my first iPhone. The 4s - everything is great. If the phone is lost or stolen while it is activated; do I have GPS tracking that will help locate the lost phone?

well how do you think you will get your phone back.. Are they going to walk up to you and say "Thanks for letting me steal your phone" lol.. If someone is going to steal any IOS device and could not get it to where they could use it.. They are either A going to blow it up or B try to pawn it off..
No no, what I'm trying to say is that the thief would have no way of disabling the Find My iPhone feature(which they can do now by Restoring the device), so you would always be able to find it no matter what they do, even if that means pawning it. If they blow it up, however, I suppose you're out of luck.
So the password is not going to stop anything.. and what about the majority of those who forget their passwords and cant get into their phone??? now what do they do lol.. make em pay 649$ for another one..
Here is where I agree with you. Like I said, it's obviously not a viable solution to have a last resort password like I'm talking about, because 90% of people who set one will forget it and then like you said, be stuck.

Where are GPS tracks stored?

Two quick questions:
1) If I import a GPS track into Aperture 3.0.3, does it get copied into and permanently saved in the Aperture library? Or is Aperture just "linking" to the file where it currently resides on my hard drive? I've looked through the manual and these forums, but couldn't find a definitive answer. I'm wondering if I can import my GPS tracks into Aperture and then delete the copy of the GPS track from the other folder on my computer?
2) If I create a vault, does it back up the GPS track information along with everything else?

You'd want to keep the original files anyway because I'm pretty sure Aperture strips out most of the data in your log file that it thinks it doesn't need. So if you ever might want the data for something else, or it future versions of Aperture add GPS features (like tagging the altitude which it currently ignores), you might not have that data available in the Aperture file.
In my mind, it goes against Aperture's philosophy for your photos of never altering your original data. It's not as if log files are so huge that they couldn't keep the original file inside the Aperture package.

XT65/XT75 as a GPS tracker

Hi guys,
First of all, sorry about my poor english.
Me and few friends of mine are trying to make gps tracking system, the server is OpenGTS (done.) and accept opendmtp and/or NMEA protocol for incoming messages from the devices and google maps for maps.
We want to be able to trace each other while we are on off-road driving (so it's not commercial, we are 10 peoples max but we will make the server public so anyone can is it for free). Our idea is to attach XT65 on every truck so we can see on the server's page in every moment where each truck is. We want to use XT65 coz it's not expensive (about 60eur with psu module and case), we can't afford other devices :(
I'm trying to find some java app for xt65 or xt75 to act as gps tracker and send its position via GPRS.
I found two simular apps at www .tdc .co .uk /index.php?key=tt070215 but still far from my need.
We need app witch can be configured with IP and port of the server, adjustable time between coordinates sends, ap settings (for gprs transfer). The coordinates should be send using opendmtp or nmea.
If someone know where we can download such app please write. We CAN pay for the app if it's not expensive (we found commercial solution but the devices cost about 100eur per truck and our idea is to be less expensive as possible).
10x in advance

It sounds like you would need to make an app or hire someone to make an app for ya.
If you decide to build something on your own, check out the Apple Developer site, and if you want to hire someone take a look at the Apple Consultants Network.

GPS Tracking Software

For what it's worth, there is a new GPS tracking software from www.mapmates.com.au
I use it on my N95 and my friends use it on their 6110's. It enables you to find your friends or kids using Google maps

New Nokia tracking software is now available in the market in cheap price

Lumia GPS tracking accuracy

Hi, Im having a problem with altitude GPS accuracy while using any of GPS tracking applications on my Lumia 720.
It seems like the phone is able the find the right altitude, for example 252 m, but it randomly drops to 36 m, then 252 m, then drops to 50 m and so on.
It doesn't depend on application, it's the same story in sports tracker, endomondo, runkeeper...
When chcecking the altitude in GPSInfo app it shows vertical accuracy 5m, so the gps signal is fine, but the altitude is fluctuating even when i'm not moving.
You can see how it looks in endomondo in attached jpeg - the road was almost flat, no elevation at all.
Is this only my phone's issue?
Solved!

Hello!
Peter who developed the App Hike&Bike was able to fix this altitude jumping bug. It is needed to use DesiredAccuracyInMeters with a value of 1. Same as mentioned by Ray Krebs on wpdev.uservoice.com.
Regarding the altitude accuracy itself it is true that this will never be perfect. But jumping from
140 to 21 meters and back is not a problem of viewable satellites. On same place an older Nokia 700 has "stable" altitude values and gives the information that 9 satellites are in view.
Peter will release a new version of Hike&Bike after finishing some beta tests. Hopefully other developer will switch to this way.
Best regards!

Can you block gps tracking on your iphone

Can I block gps tracking on my iphone?

What GPS tracking?
GPS provides your location to Apps within the iPhone. You can manage what apps have access to Location Services in Settings->Privacy->Location Services. You can turn location Sharing to other devices there too.
If you have Find My iPhone turned on, it uses the iPhone's GPS location to find it in icloud.com.
You can turn this off in Settings->iCloud.

GPS Tracking program that continues to track while using other iPhone apps

Does anyone know of a GPS tracking app for the iPhone 3G that will continue to track while listening to music or answering calls? The few apps I've tried quit logging when you change to another app.

Thanks - hopefully Apple will address this soon. I'm not willing to hack/jailbreak my phone just to get this functionality.
One last dig:
This is the unfortunate reason that I've stayed away from Apple for so long. They make WOW stuff that is pretty and neat to use as long as you stay inside the "box" so to speak. I guess I'll have to take my old blackberry running with me - it can play music AND track your run with GPS. Who would want to do that?

What is the best way to geotag photos with data from GPS Tracker Log (GPX format)?

I just returned from a 4 month trip to Southeast Asia. Before I left, I set the time on my camera, a Canon 7D, to match the GPS time on my GPS tracker, a QStarz BT-Q1000X. Both times were set to UTC, also known as GMT.
I have imported the data from the GPS log into Aperture as a GPX file. Now I would like to sync the location metadata on my photos with the data from the GPS log. How can I do this using Aperture 3?
I seem to be having two problems:
Aperture wants to shift the times based on which part of the track I drag the images onto. Since the camera and gps tracker times were sync'd, I do not want any shift.
The time shifts that are displayed are 12 hours and a few minutes, rather than 0 hours and a few minutes.
A few additional notes:
When I imported the GPS track, Aperture automatically changed the time zone of the track to Asia/Ho Chi Minh City, which is correct (GMT+7).
I have batch changed the images from Camera Time: UTC to Actual Time: GMT+7
The time on my computer is US/Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4), or Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5) when the photos where taken.
Since I was gone for so long, and my GPS tracker memory is limited, I set the tracker to record a trackpoint once every 60 seconds.
Is there a solution to my problems using Aperture 3, or should I start looking for third party applications to geotag the photos before importing them into Aperture?
Thank you.

I think the 12 hour discrepancy is more likely a result of the 12 hour difference between GMT+5 and GMT-7. The dates and times of the photos and the GPS track are displayed properly in Aperture. See the images below.

HT1688 Is there any way to set password to protect the location service, to keep GPS open? so, the theft cannot turn it off so easy, because once the location service is turn off, all GPS track is useless...

That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

GPS tracking way off in iOS4 and/or iPhone4?

Hi
Have any of you guys noticed problems with tracking using iPhone4 and/or the new iOS? Over the last couple of weeks I have had a lot of problems when I'm tracking my hikes - especially the altitude is waaaaaay off. Different GPS tracking programs (e.g. Gaia, MotionX, Accuterra) would show me as being at, say, 2400ft, whereas the correct altitude would be 3200ft. After a restart of the phone or turning on/off airplane mode, the altitude would now correctly show 3200ft. It appeared that the programs were unable to update the altitude correctly both as I was walking up the mountain and down. This is not specific to a particular GPS tracking program, as opening up different programs and checking the altitude would show almost the same (and wrong) altitude as other programs.
Also, I recorded A LOT of spurious waypoints on my way. I have now tried this on 4 different mountains and the problem persists. I'm just wondering whether this is a general problem or a problem with the GPS software? Have a look at an example trip with problems here (you may need to zoom in):
http://www.everytrail.com/viewtrip.php?tripid=807646
And nope - I wasn't walking around in circles.....
Others?

I'm getting very interested in GPS problems across the entire iOS device range. Ive got a 3GS and the GPS satellite fix stopped working completely recently. A fix identified using jailbreak and an ssh terminal tells me a good proportion of these problems are with locationd, the gps process in the iPhone, or more accurately, I think that it's possible for some of the data this process uses to become corrupted; the "fix" involves stopping the process and deleting the data it uses. On restart, locations is forced to rebuild the data, and everything then works.
I suspect this is true across the iPhone range - and worse, I think that the backup function in iTunes actually backs up the bad data. Thus, when you restore from backup, you actually put the problem back in! Either that, or GPS cache data isnt deleted when the iphone is restored.
What we need is an option in iTunes, or the iPhone settings, to clear GPS ephemeris and related data down and restart locationd: this will save apple a fortune in support at genius bars, as I reckon everyone who is getting a replacement is just getting a reblanked refurbished iPhone with no hardware fixes - they could be turning them around in the back of the stores!
We need to get some group pressure together to get an answer out of apple on this really - they do seem to have an approach which has much in common with the way the UK banks were dealing with overdraft fees - if you complained, they refunded just to keep you quiet and make sure you didn't shout. If this issue is an underlying gps driver or application demon issue, they should give us a way to work around the issue.

View GPS tracks in Nokia Maps

Is there a possibility to view GPS tracks in Nokia Maps (1.2), e.g. if the track is in gpx or kml format? I tried several converters but the lmx file that I get only gives me waymarks but no routes or tracks. That's ok for short tracks but problematic for long tracks with a lot of waymarks. Is there any other way to deal with this?
