I've been working on this for a little while now.   Ever get asked when your out and about "where are you?".    We'll if you want to be truthful and really report back really where you are here's a little app that does just that.

With a GPS connected phone,   you've potentially got access to SAT Nav and all of that good stuff.   However its harder to notify someone of your exact location.   

Using the Windows Mobile GPS intermediate driver,   its a easy to build a mobile application that will talk to any Bluetooth, internal or SD card GPS receiver.

I've made the application so that you can store a number of your contacts email addresses from the Pocket Outlook address book, so its quick to find who you want to send your location to.     In addition  you can setup a number of Points Of Interest (POI's).    These POI's can be for locations such as 'Home', 'Work',  'Train Station' etc.

You can then send a message to one of your recipients with optionally the distance from one of your POI's.   i.e you can send your wife an email with your distance from home (and a live map).   Its limited at the moment to using Exchange as the email transport.

Finally the email that you get send out contains a link to a map with exactly where you are -

So if you like the idea of this little app.  You can download the Windows Mobile 5/6 Standard version (aka SmartPhone) version  HERE

You'll need the SQL Compact 3.5 runtime on your device,   which you can get HERE

If you haven't done it already on a Windows Mobile 5/6 phone to configure the GPS Intermediate driver you need the settings tool,  which I've put a link to HERE 

Its a good idea to click these 3 links on your phone,  to save you the bother of having to copy them over from your PC.

I make no claims for reliability, this is very much a work in progress, let me know what you think by sending me a mail (richard@binaryrefinery.com)  or adding a comment.
