You FindME / I FindU

"You may already have everything you need for a personal tracking solution. You will need a Pocket PC running Windows Mobile 2003, a GPS receiver attached to it, and a cellphone paired with the Pocket PC. The Pocket PC will send GPS position reports to a server via the cellphone's internet connection. Let your family keep track of where you are in real time from any web browser, or keep track of them. I use it to keep tabs on my 17 year old daughter when she borrows the car."
Well, no matter what your intentions are – if you've been searching for a personal (and might I add FREE) GPS tracking service, this may be of interest to you. Using an application called findMe, your GPS position is sent to a server called findU and anyone with a web browser can track your location. Now if the 17 year old daughter was smart, she'd turn off the GPS receiver; but then this software would be made redundant, wouldn't it? :P
The developer strictly states that this tracking system is purely for entertainment purposes. I'd like to think so too...
