I'm thinking of signing up with something like Mapaphone to track the movements of my own mobile. The way I see it is a cheaper version of an in-car GPS route finder. I can get internet access in the car through a Bluetooth or Infrared connection to my phone, so I can use the standard internet based route finders (I often do when I'm on the road) plus I'll be able to find out where I am at that particular point in time by viewing the map on their Website . The problem with (Road) maps alone is that that they are of little use if you don't actually know where you are.

Last week I had to negotiate the countryside of Cheshire and Staffordshire because of a rather large spillage on the M6, I got completely lost because I didn't know where I was, my journey home from work took 4 hours!

I think I'll try the free trial
