Default Imagine... Show yourself on the map for your familiy while traveling!

Imagine... You planned to do a long distant trip and each day you just want
to tell where
your are. Sometimes you have a guestbook to read, r you upload some camera
snapshots to the website. Does it mean that you are an IT expert? No.

Take a look at http://www.poi66.com. There you can see how to show your
family and
friends where you are on the map , just by sending an SMS text message (no
extra cost). Your position has a 4 meter precision. The city and country
you're in are automatically shown. You just need a GPS receiver.
Your family can zoom in and out and view the country from the air. The trick
is that you just punch in the coordinates of the GPS in your text message.

Sometimes it's possible to udo that using a PDA, fully automated. Press
send... and
after 3 seconds everyone sees you on the Google map and in Google Earth It
is
also possible by using the Internet without telephone or SMS.

Examples:

Watch 4 boys who drive across Africa in an old ford and fiat. They take part
in a race to Dakar:

A couple campers Africa:

On the bike in South America:

If you want this too (for free, no spam or other mess), then take a look at
www.poi66.com how you can register. Happy journey!
