Tracking Via GPS

Hello All,

Firstly I'd like to say that this is an excellent site. Full of the information that Microsoft is lacking.......... which leads to my question.

I have 15 advisers who I would like to see their location on a map during the day; I have a call centre that issues meetings to these guys and I would want to see who was closest in the given area etc.

These guys will all have a IPAQ Pocket based device with GPS device, they transmit data using a Mobile phone via bluetooth using GPRS.

Basically I want to see 15 dots on a map that move around as they move, can this be done out of the box?

Thanks keep up the good work.

nextel has a really good system for this. I use it and it works great.

MKelly,

Microsoft's own technology for this is called "MapPoint Location Server", we have a special issue on this web service in the newsletter archives:

You'd have to check with MS for a list of their current partners, but I understand they work with Sprint Bell Canada.
