Well, its finally time. BlackBerryTracker.com will be no more on October 31, 2008.
I have been working on a brand new site, MoosTrax.com, which will resume the tracking services previously offered by BlackBerryTracker. This site should be a little more user friendly, and much more stable, as I’m aware that quite a few people were having issues with the BlackBerryTracker site.
Currently, the new site has Live Tracking, History, and a Facebook Application. I will probably have GeoFences, which will be slightly different than how they were on BlackBerryTracker, up in about a week.
The Developer API should be also available by the end of this weekend.
The Facebook Application is all new as well, and integrates much better with the new Facebook design. Check it out here.
A new client for the BlackBerry was designed from the ground up, and should be much more stable and better battery life than the older BlackBerryTracker client.
You can check out the site at:
I tried installing the client on my 8830. It says it installed sucessfully, but I can’t find the icon to start the program. Has anyone else had this problem? I’ve tried resetting my device and reinstalling the client. Still no luck.
I’m not getting any visible maps… anyone else?
OK. I figured out the client settings and login are under “Options” (the wrench). There is no icon for the client. I was doing this in a rush and assumed it would be the same as the previous version.
I cannot see the app icon neither. I\’m running OS 4.5 in a Pearl 8130.
Ok then. I just posted at the same time.
Can I get the tracking data from BlackberryTracker.com? I’m interested in keeping a personal history of where I’ve been, and while I downloaded a KML file a few months ago, I’d love the most up-to-date version. Or can the data be ported? Just curious. Thanks for an interesting and useful service!

If you can supply me with your username and password I can probably get you a KML file of all the history.
Please e-mail at chris [at] tech9computers.com with the info.
Chris,
When is your moostrax site expected to be back up and running?
is the moostrax website not working?
Your website is down all the time!
Still down…can you please post when it is up again?
I am just installing this for the first time and don’t know why won’t it update my location? does it normally take soo long the first time? Is it a problem with software/website?. Please any insight will be appreciated.
