Cell Phone GPS

GPS receivers are a regular feature found in most cell phones of today but the user can not take advantage of them. Nextel's been putting GPS receivers in its cell phones for years. Now you can finally do something useful with that receiver by broadcasting your location in real-time thanks to a free service called Mologogo. The requirements are pretty specific: You need a Nextel phone, Java, and a GPS receiver on the handset. Just download the Mologogo software to your phone and you can share your location with other users with Mologogo-enabled cell phones or via the Web. There is large concern with software such as this because of privacy dangers that could occur with unwanted cell phone tracking. This is however a useful feature because it enables parents to keep track on their children in real time. I think the idea of real time GPS on cell phones is a good idea as long as it is agreed upon by both parties who are tracking each other. It would be great for finding the location of a friend who you are trying to meet up with. I can also see the dangers with such a program such as unwanted stalking or following.
