    Basically i am looking for some kind of windows software that will, like most GPS's, log and upload in real time the "Breadcrumbs" of my trips so my family and friends can see where i am at.

    I used to do this with my phone hooked to my pc as a gps and the pc would upload it to a website.

    I would appreciate any idea's anyone might have on how to do this with out spending a fortune.

    If you have an android smartphone, go download Realtime GPS Tracker from the playstore. Its free and you can track family and friends if they download it. If you want another cool app then download Zello.

    If you have an iPhone install find iphone. It's free and real time. They can use their phone or computer, and with 2 clicks they can get driving directions to your exact location.

    A lot of people I know use Life360. Personally I just use the truck tracker my bf's company has. I can check it from anywhere that I can get online.

    As far as that goes the question i am asking has nothing to do with that, but more to do with letting my son have a little glimpse of my day to day and using it as a teaching experience. This would have nothing to do with my company monitoring me at all or anything like that i just wanna use it for personal use.

    As far as the phone apps i appreciate all the info those are all the great ideas i might use but i am still looking for a PC PROGRAM to do this as my PC will be whats mainly powered on.

    Thanx for all the idea's i would also like to know if anyone uses a PC for this and what they use.

    Just sign them in with google plus in google chrome and have them turn on their location services on in settings in there phone. Pretty accurate and up to date.
