I'm planning another long ride this year and want to periodically (hourly?) auto upload my position to a web based map (via SMS?) for others to follow progress in real time and show the history of the route. Googling, there seems to be loads of options:
- I could use my SPOT but it would mean leaving it on all the time (batteries)
- I could buy a GPS tracker thingy. Do they upload automatically and what about batteries?
- I could use Android and Google 'Check In' automating the process with Tasker to avoid running the GPS constantly. Does 'Check In' keep history to show a breadcrumb trail accross a map?
- I could do something wierd with Android/Tasker/SMS/frogs eyes/bat wings etc...
Anyone got any ideas on this please?
