Is there a software out there which can be installed on a non gps enabled phone, that can track the movement of the phone user and upload on google maps? If not, is there a device that can do tracking offline and upload tracking information onto google maps Sent from my android mobile device
AFAIK, you cannot upload anything onto Google Maps, however, you can download the Maps and overlay them with just about any information you want, including waypoints collected by your software. As regards the software you are asking about, I don't know. On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 11:26 AM, Nicholas Mutinda <mutindah@gmail.com>wrote:

Non GPS phone - would only give you approximate location (based on cell tower locations) so not sure if this would be useful to your need. On Thu, Dec 1, 2011 at 11:44 AM, Paul Kevin <paultitude@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi.. Define non Gps enabled phone (how smart is it, can it multitask) and the os it is running on. Security apps on "smart phones" even without gps's should be able to tell you where the device is. say between 500 meters to 2 or 3 km or more accuracy. the antitheft f-secure app will reply to a #locate# command sms. as long as the app can run some very inaccurate location point should be returned. most other apps will have a fit about not being able to locate the gps or tracking module. ___________________ Sifa U.

this is my challenge: i have a footsoldier who has a nokia c2 phone. I would like to install on his phone an app that will enable him to track his movement from one point to another, and also use the phone to mark waypoints. This information collected by the app will be mapped on google maps for decision making purposes. it has to work on the nokia c2 phone. On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 12:34 AM, Sifa U.

Hello, I tend to think that for this solution to work, the phone has to have a GPS receiver in order to generate the coordinates of the location. T Software alone wont work.. How ill the phone "detect" where it is on the grid if it doesnt have such a receiver.. I stand to be corrected though ... On 2 December 2011 11:59, Nicholas Mutinda <mutindah@gmail.com> wrote:

Client has to get better equipment. "doesn't matter what he insists" The data you want to collect is accurate and spatially correct. If he must use the C2 it must also be smart enough to do it. Can the C2 pair with a Bluetooth gps device (hardware work around) If it can you can collect way points but you'll at the very least. Can it run My World GPS traker or even sports traker. the nokia E5 nonGPS device has positioning enabled the triangulation @thomas mentions just no built in GPS. but i wouldn't pick it to collect field data. Or get a C5 very basic comes with GpS ___________________ Sifa U.

Security apps on "smart phones" even without gps's should be able to tell you where the device is. say between 500 meters to 2 or 3 km or more accuracy. the antitheft f-secure app will reply to a #locate# command sms. as long as the app can run some very inaccurate location point should be returned. most other apps will have a fit about not being able to locate the gps or tracking module.

....and the client does not want to buy a blue tooth gps device :(
Then you are definately in a fix; as my final yr project (when GPS
enabled phones were rare) I had to build an electronic circuit board connecting a GPS serial device and a nokia phone also on serial connecting to same circuit board. To fetch coordinate data ; I had to flash the phone then this would trigger the circuit board to 'listen' to the GPS device; trigger an SMS on the phone and send it back to my computer from which I would decode and put the 'dot' on an offline map. <this in essence was a cheap way where you could do tracking quite independently> I had also done a bit of research with safcom (and a few car tracking companies) to see if there was an easier way to do this (to prove the validity of my project [?]) And i found that - the option to track your phone (without GPS) - the operator will have to allow you; and you may have to get info from the core-network from which you will use to calculate the phone's position using triangulation of about 3 BTS - which is also mighty inaccurate. Eg some BTS have very strong signals and will encroach on your 3 chosen low signal BTS where your phone is supposed to be attached - but the strong signal BTS pirates your signal and attaches your phone to itself - which will introduce errors to your triangulation computations such that they would put you in a radius of upto 1500m around your actual location (and errors of 1/2 a kilometer are just ridiculous) So - even if you get to access your phones position from the BTS information - they would never allow you to access such info. Try tracing your lost phone and see - first they will send you to Police Station and if you make your case, they forward you to CID HQ - The police will ask you how important or expensive your phone was (and this is a one time only trace application [?][?] )
Eventually, you will dsicover that the cheapest option is a smartphone .....
