Im looking for APP (preferable FREE) which in REALTIME will show on a WWW page where is the owner.
Basically I see it like this:
I turn the app on my phone and my friend can log in on website (using special pass and login) and he would be able to see where exactly I'm in REALTIME.
App would refresh data on website every 1 minute (or more, depending on setttings).
Does such app even exist?
Isn't that Google Latitude? Installs with Google Maps.
Glympse will do what you want.

This.
It's free and should already be on your phone!
Latitude is pretty far away from real time
Glympse is what you need
I checked Glympse but it only allows up to 4h of tracking and it don't work well on China Mobile GPRS. So there is completely no real time tracking.

Hello, i have been searching for a accurate tracker so my family can know where we all are all the time. I needed it to not only run on GPS but Wifi and 4g as well to give a general location. I need it to have adjustable update control as well. I tried Google latitude but it never updates and i tried life360 and it is very inaccurate on location tracking even with GPS on.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

Take a look at anti-theft apps. I use Cerberus (Play store, Developer website) on my phone, for anti-theft purposes. You can log on to their site to track & view location on a map. It seems accurate, & pulls location data quite quickly, so I suspect it does use wifi in addition to GPS.
Thanks friend, im looking for something that would show my whole family on the map on my phone. Any thoughts!

I know GNow kills battery due to the constant GPS use, but I was willing to give it a try if it "help" me with my life activities. However, the result has been less than impressive:
1). Weather
Always off by 5-10 degrees (California)
2). Public Transportation
Always informed me of the "nearest" train station, which I do NOT use and I use the other one (BART in California)
3). Package tracking
Never worked for me, especially now Amazon stop including the tracking number in their email.
So what else is GNow used for? How does that working out for you?
I find the delays on the motorway useful for my commute. Mine doesn't use GPS constantly.

1. Weather is usually right...same area as you. It does the same thing as searching "weather in san francisco" in google.
2. Yeah that doesn't work.
3. That only worked when I ordered my N5. Amazon used to work, now it doesn't.
I just turned it off. I can still use all the voice commands, so it isn't a big deal.
I don't mind it. Tracks similar articles referencing search strings, tracks sports teams. Liked the Olympic tracking although you could not specify what country you are tracking. Also like the tourists locations when out of town. I don't really notice a battery difference except after a day or 2 without rebooting (doesn't allow device to sleep. Reboot and it's all good again.)
Has a fair bit of potential and looking forward to future updates.

Does these tracking only works with the Gmail account which you activated Google Now with?
Example:
1). I use 2 Gmail accounts --> A and B
2). A is activated for GNow
3). B is used for online shopping (package tracking, flight confirmation, etc.)
If I forward package / flight email confirmation from B, will GNow tracks it too even though it is only associated with A?

i have 2 gmail accounts too but i can only get notifications/reminders from the primary account. in the google now settings under accounts & privacy you can switch accounts so i guess it only works for one account at a time.

Strange, like everyone else, amazon tracking stopped worked a while back. However, I ordered a cable from amazon yesterday, and google now offered me a tracking option. I click it, and it takes me to the UPS site and offers tracking info. I'm looking at the shipping email in my gmail (desktop), I can't see any tracking number.
Viewing the source, I see it now. Amazon includes the ups tracking number in the link, and google now is scraping it.
I have Google Now enabled. I like the traffic times (and accident warnings), the sports updates/reminders and the package tracking.
Google Now will also pop up a card if I search a destination on my PC. Convenient if I actually needed directions on my phone, but unless the place was in the city, I probably don't need directions.
I was under the impression that Google Now only uses WiFi and Cell towers to provide you location data. However, Google Play Services will have GPS data Google Now might use as well (Play Services collects GPS data at times under the Location Reporting feature). That's how I understand it and based on the Location window, Google Search/Now never uses GPS only Google Play Services.
Again, this is what I believe from my understanding of how Google Now works.

1. weather has been off by 1-3 degrees, but who's to say which weather service is truly correct (i trust google over yahoo for instance)
2. i don't use public transit (horrible system set up in socal), but it gives me great directions and info on travelling to my destinations. i always check it before leaving work to see how traffic is so i can plan my way home for that day.
3. package tracking works perfectly for me
i also use it for sports scores, and track my stock portfolio.
i use it all the time, and i haven't seen any issues with battery drain at all to say that it "kills" the battery.
weather - yes
traffic congestion- no
sports scores and match reminders - yes
flight reminders - yes
package tracking - yes
Always listen feature is pretty heavy on battery and is never useful to me for most part of my day
However i use a Zerolemon extended battery so i only switch off when i am out for very extended periods of time
in short yes! google now is very useful to me and i love the new KITKAT integration with the experience launcher
I stopped using Google Now because it became kind of annoying. It kept recommending time to travel to these places that i frequented but it wanted me to label them and everytime I would swipe it away it would be there again the next day. I also turned it off for battery consumption. I just didn't find it that useful since my work place is constantly moving.
Also the weather seems inaccurate a lot of the time and I will just use the weather channel, or just briefly look at minarch which has the weather, current conditions and forcast right there on my homescreen.
I order from amazon a lot and it shows in Google now. UPS, FedEx, USPS. All there. I had about 6 in there earlier. All links worked.

I only use it for reminders, search references and sports updates. Otherwise its blank and seems minimal on battery.
The weather update was waking my phone consistently to update, where as dash clock does it only when the screen comes on so I use that instead.

Fairly useless battery drain for me. Weather? Off, location? It's annoying but i'm fairly sure I know how to get home.
The title basically says it. A friend of mine has a lot of speed tickets. She mentioned to that she needed a new phone. She also needs navigation.
I am looking for software that combines navigation with up-to-date alerts on speed camera's.
Up until now the only thing I can find are dedicated speed camera apps, but the navigation is absent. I need a combo!
Does this software exist?
Thank you
Waze. Community updated maps. The data is so new that google maps uses it for traffic updates and alerts. It does allsorts.

I've got a Samsung S3 Frontier and want to use it to for hiking. I use All-Trails on my Android phone but they don't don't provide a S3 app. Does anyone know of an app that will let me load a trail, I can use a GPX file to load the trail into a different app on my phone but I don't see an app that also has the S3 support I need.
I'm looking for the ability to at least track distance, waypoint so it can be showin on a map, speed, elevation, elevation gain per hour, etc. The watch has all the sensors I need, I just need an app will work for hikes.
Looked at MapMyHike but it doesn't have a S3 companion app.
Any help would be appreciated,

Hi,
I like to use komoot.
(can't give you the link, cause i didn't used xda much yet)
I think you got all the features you named. If you want to have an offline map, buy it or try to use some discounts.
You'll be lucky to find any good app on here ? never mind a specific one, roll on an Android wear port

I just asked something similar and I see you didn't get much help either. Did you use the Samsung Health hiking feature? It worked really good on the way up and didnt measure crap on the way down. I wonder if there is a way to get the hiking feature on its on widget and out of the health widget

You can use Altimeter & Barometer app to control an elevation. The app was tested by mountain climbers with success.
GPX route tracker, you have in on Gear apps

Finally - after 2 years of waiting - there is now a real hiking app available, that has all the features I always wanted: Locus Map Pro/Free Watch.
This works in conjunction with
Locus Map Free/Pro - Hiking GPS navigation and maps phone app (for Android) - which is a feature and map rich app by itself.
The watch app support lots of different maps (not just Google...). It supports track recording, navigation, stats etc.
You can plan a hike on your phone and then follow it on the watch.
I fully recommend it.
I used it now on several hikes and am fully satisfied - finally after trying so many other "hiking" apps.
More info on the locusmap website (sorry linke posting not allowed.

This is unusable solution, because you must have phone with you. It's not standalone application.
Have you tried Gaia GPS? It just might work with your S3. I've recently gone camping at Lower Lake and almost got off route. I would've wandered in circles for a while had it not been for this app. I downloaded the offline map of the area before the hike, and it paid off - I was able to find my way back to the trail. My friend hikes more often than me, and he prefers PeakVisor. He says this app works kind of like augmented reality - you point your camera at the peak, and the app shows you the info on it and the trail to it using your camera and advanced 3D technology.
