Track Anyone With a Cell Ethan Todras-Whitehill / Popular Science | May 3 2006 Cue the Mission Impossible theme.
I’m working a top-secret operation, and my support team is monitoring
my every movement. OK, so I’m just going to the hardware store,
but my girlfriend, Jen, is tracking me. Using a $100 kit from Mologogo
(with a $6-a-month data plan), I’ve turned a prepaid cellphone
into a GPS tracking device. Every few minutes, the phone transmits my
location within 100 meters to mologogo.com, which posts it to a Google
map that Jen can access from any computer. She can view my most recent
spot or my past 100 recorded locations as little pushpins stamped with
date and time. Since Mologogo launched in October, its 1,000-plus members have found plenty of uses for it: following marathon runners, keeping track of the kids, planting a phone in the car in case it’s stolen, watching a boyfriend’s every move . . . Uh-oh. Go to mologogo.com and order a starter kit, which includes a phone preloaded with the tracking application, as well as two chargers, a USB cable and $10 in prepaid credit—nearly enough for the first two months of data service. Activate the phone following the included instructions. Make sure you choose the Mobile Data plan. Create two accounts at mologogo .com, one
for the phone and one for the person tracking it. In each account, add
the other as a “friend.” ---------------------------------------------------
