hello.

I have a diamond and i'm wondering if there is a software that i can install in my phone that send constantly the location of the phone to a server

what i want to see is the location of the phone in google maps or something like that... like 007 style

or that some one in a computer can see my location in a map


sorry for my english

So you mean something like Google Latitude?
http://www.google.com/latitude/intro.html

It's an application you can install on your phone and it uses the GPRS/3G data link to send your location to selected friends. You can choose whether to send to individuals by exact location, general city location or not to send your location at all.

Google Maps for Windows Mobile already shows your exact location if you have a GPRS/3G data link and a GPS enabled phone. It's very James Bond... maybe not as fancy looking, but definitely impressive for showing off. :)

was promising but

it says

The Latitude iGoogle gadget is not currently available for your location :(

You can still download Google Maps with Latitude to your phone :)

so i only can use it in the phone but not the pc

Right, this is how you do it.

Download Google Maps for Windows Mobile from here...
http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB

Install that onto your Diamond.
Start > Programs > Google Maps
Click Menu then Latitude.
You need a Google login to make it work.
Click on Add Friends to add someone (using their Google login name).
You can now specify whether to share your location with them at an exact or city level.

Your friend can log into iGoogle with their login on their home PC and see your location on a mini map on screen.
