uTrack can be used to track mobile devices in a passive, non-intruisive way.
It can be configured to publish the location of a Windows Mobile powered device to any website or webservice. The only requirement is that HTTP GET request can be used.
The different items of information that can be published are:
* Longitude / Latitude
* DeviceID
* Date and time
When run, the application only shows a notifyicon and stays dormant until another application uses the GPS Intermediate driver. When the GPS device gets a fix on the position, uTrack will publish this information to the URL specified in the configuration window.
uTrack features:
* A lightweight Windows Mobile client whose sole purpose is to monitor and publish GPS coordinates.
* Four different parameters can be used in the GET request: Longitude, Latitude, Date/Time and the deviceID.
* The request can be tested using a easy to use option which opens the configured URL in the default browser.
* A non-intrusive notify-icon to indicate GPS monitoring is active.
* Both support for Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 powered devices.
* Auto start monitoring on device reset.
* GPS Intermediate Driver support.
Because of its easy concept, uTrack can be used in all kind of situations and applications.
Configuration of a target website is also easy. Just configure the webserver to process the GET request accordingly:
http://www.exampleserver.com/mywebsite/publish_device_location.aspx?long=@LONG&lat=@LAT&time=@TIME&id=@ID
One example (which is used on this website) is to publish the location of a device to a website. There the information is used to show a Google Maps map as the background of all the pages. The theme of de site is therefore dependent on the location of its owner.
