GpsGate.com Puts Your Buddies in Their Place
New Service for Windows and Windows Mobile Pocket PCs Enables You to Spot Friends' Locations in Real-Time
Franson Technology has launched GpsGate.com, a GPS mapping portal designed to enable people to share their locations from their Windows laptop or Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC device with anyone they have personally approved to "spot" them online. GpsGate.com offers a great new way for a group of friends or colleagues to synchronize their lives for work or fun. Anyone that belongs to the same group can share their current location with the others in their group.
By logging in to GpsGate.com, users will be able to see their buddies moving in real-time on a map. To share their position with others in their group, they simply need to install GpsGate software on their Windows laptop or Windows Mobile Pocket PC. This software will enable them to share their GPS signal so that it can be received by fellow group members.
GpsGate also offers a Google Earth plug-in so that friends' locations can be spotted on a satellite image rather than a map.
"Our aim for GpsGate.com is to provide a central portal for broadcasting your location for a specific group of friends or work colleagues, and for you to be able to 'spot' them as well," said Johan Franson, president of Franson Technology. "GpsGate.com is more than just a fun way to keep track of the people in your life-it offers very practical solutions for both work and personal purposes. In the near-term, our plans are to enable users to integrate parts of GpsGate.com to their own homepages so they can broadcast a sailing boat competition, for example, or allow friends and family to track you on your family trip."
The company also plans to add business tools to GpsGate.com, such as the ability to track delivery trucks or field service technicians. The software for Pocket PC and Windows to send your position costs USD 29.95 per user with a 14 day free trial. The web site GpsGate.com is free.
