MyLocation For Palm Treo 600, 650 and 680


Google Maps is one of the most useful applications on the Treo series of phones. When the "My Location" feature from Google was released, it made the application even better. However, Google was not able to make this feature available for the Treo series. I love Google and a good challenge... as a result, I bring you "MyLocation" for the Palm Treo Series. This application uses the current Google Maps (ver: 1.2.0.9), consider it a "patch" to the Google Maps application.

Requirements:
GSM / Palm OS Based Treo (600,650,680)
Google Maps installed

This product is FREE (freeware) however, a location based advertising model has been implemented to offset development costs. The advertisements can be removed with any donation of $10 or more. Due to the nature of this application, your approximate location (nearest cell tower) will be known. This information is used to display location based advertisements and an anonymous world map of all users. Your personal information will not be used for any other purpose. If you are concerned about privacy do not install this software.

Future Plans:
The plan for this service is to expand the phone compatibility, location based alerts and provide opt-in tracking services. For example you can let your friends and family know where you are.
