Getting Started

 

Using the Website

Registering with the website is easy and allows users to log-on and determine the current location of family and friends as well as past positions visited. However, due to the large number of users regularly using this website and the lack of donations made, it is now necessary to charge a small nominal fee for our service. From 1st January 2008, a small donation of £5 (approx. $10) will be requested which will provide access to this site for one year.

Registering

Registering with the website will gain access to the tracking and logging service. To register, click here or select 'Register' from the left-hand menu. All that is required to register with the website is a desired username and a valid email address.

Once the register form has been completed, a password will be sent to the email address allowing the user to now login on the main page.

Adding a Device Code to your Profile

To add a device code to your profile in order to view the position and past location history of a device, first obtain the device id from the mobile user. This number will be under 'Settings->Serial' from the Options menu of the mobile software. Then select 'Add a Device' from the left-hand menu:

Enter the device code and press 'Add'. Provided that this device exists, the device will be added to your profile.

Retrieving the position and past location history of a device

To retrieve the position and past location history of a device, the data for the device must exist and the device code added to your profile. Device codes added to your profile can be viewed from the members page. To view the device data, simply click on a device:

Clicking on a bubble within the map view will display the date and time when the phone was at that position. To refresh the screen and perform real-time tracking, simply refresh the view - 'F5'.

Removing a device from your profile

Simply click on 'Delete a Device', select the device to be deleted from your profile and press 'Delete'

Note: to remove the position history of a device held on the server, this will need to be done from the mobile software: 'Options->Clear->Server'.
