Hmmm, that is weird, try resetting your phone, that could fix it.

Yes, you can. I don’t think there’s a Pre app for it but you can do it easily using Google Latitude API thru XML or JSON. If you want I can try developing the code for that.

Has anyone found a solution to the Pre showing up in Kansas? I’ve seen it mentioned here a few times by different people but no one has a comment on it? I’m having the same issue. It will show me Kansas and at my previous location but not my most current location. And each of these locations is more than 300 miles apart. Is there anything I need to do?

Thanks for the guide. It really is great. Nice instructions too.

It makes a URL that you just put into a web browser to see the phones location through google maps. I used this when I went on a road trip recently… despite being 23 my parents worried about me. I gave them a URL so they could check my progress on the way to my destination. __________________ My pre is like caffeine.

Question?
Now that I have this working … when I open up google maps on my pre and search for directions to a location, will the blinking blue dot (me) move as I drive toward my destination? I’m just trying to figure out more useful uses of this than just finding my pre’s location when it’s stolen and such.
Thanks.

Below is the post that got me up and running. I originally had my location service set to off and I would be prompted anytime an app requested my location, but apparently that was causing http://my.dns.com:14567/track.php to not pull up at all. As soon as I set the location services on the pre to “on”, the webiste pulled up on both my pre and on my pc browser. Sweetness!
