I’ve been asked by a few people to add a feature that allows a user to put their location(or a google map of their location) on their web site.
I’m implementing the feature now and it should be done in the next day or so. Here are the details:
Login to the Blackberry Tracker account that you use for the device that you are trying to track.
When you go to Manage Device you will see a 32 character string called the Device Key. This will be used by your web site to retrieve the GPS information for the selected device.
Once you have the Device Key, you need to request the following URL(GET method) in your web application.
http://bb.tech9computers.com/api/gps/DEVICE_KEY/
You will retrieve the following XML document:
<gps> <lat>3.1324</lat> <lon>-1.4535</lon> </gps>
It should be mostly self explanatory.
I will be extending this feature soon too, but this will probably be the basic feature I’ll add tomorrow.
Great program. It works perfectly on my pearl with bluetooth gps puck.
Are you planning on developing something that would show my route traveled? In other words as I travel, a line is created on the map.
Also, is it possible to see my position in google earth in realtime?

Yeah, you should be able to see a line as you travel if you go to Live Tracking. Also, in live tracking, there is a link to a Google Earth KML with your location. Just copy and paste this link into Google Earth.
Are you using the beta site?
