tool for tracking device

Wed Mar 20 18:33:55 UTC 2013

hi sir,

i have an android app in mind which is called tool for tracking device

- This application would be activated by a calendar entry, showing that the
phone user has an appointment somewhere (i.e. meeting friends in a town 2
hours away). The application would track the phones position and register
that the user is on his way to the appointment (by checking if the user is
following the route of google maps to the destination). The phone would
keep a status of whether the phone owner will arrive on time or be late. As
soon as the user is on his way, the people being visited can check anytime
if their friend will arrive on time (communication between the devices via
a webpage or IM).

this can just be done by tracking someone`s cell phone location.
