"Earlier, we posted about the DIY cheap GPS tracking service Mologogo, you
can get a cheap $60 pre-paid boost mobile phone, register on the site,
download a Java app and you're pretty much done. The phone will transmit
your position to server (Uses Rails, Linux, Google Maps) and you/your
friends can view where you are at in real time. I've hacked up tons of
solutions to do the same thing, and this is simplest and cheapest (pretty
much free if you have the phone, or $60 if you go pre-paid + 0.20 / day).
Here are some photos and screenshots of the service in use..."

"The mologogo application does not use airtime minutes, it only needs to use
the .Mobile Web. service that you are paying the 20 cents a day for, which
works out to only $6.00 a month!"

"Mologogo is totally "alpha" right now, but improving rapidly. It is was
built as a Web 2.0 app, so expect integration with sites like Flickr,
Upcoming.org, Judy's book, and lots more RubyOnRails/AJAX-y goodness added
to our UI. And with our soon to be released API, you'll be able to access
your own location data in other sites."
