I couldn&#8217;t ever get it to work with my mobile reporting a &#8216;Network Error&#8217; each time it tried to transmit location data.  In the end I gave up having reached dead-ends with whatever I tried.<\/p>\n<p>And then I bought a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.motorola.com\/staticfiles\/Consumers\/global\/flash_content\/microsites\/s9hd\/index.html\" title=\"Bluetooth stereo headset\">Bluetooth stereo headset<\/a> to use with my Blackberry because I&#8217;m fed up with headset cords!  Then I discovered that my Blackberry whilst having Bluetooth 2.0 didn&#8217;t have A2DP support for Bluetooth stereo headphones.  A bit of digging and I found that the latest firmware for the Blackberry did have A2DP support so I found a download and upgraded the firmware.  Not quite as simple as that last sentence makes it sound &#8211; I think the technical term is that I &#8216;bricked&#8217; the Blackberry.  However, I finally found a way of turning a brick back into a working mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Then for some unknown reason I thought today I&#8217;d go back and have a play with tracking again &#8211; it worked immediately!  I guess this unexpected success can only be put down to the firmware upgrade.  I&#8217;m not going to leave tracking active on my mobile all the time but here&#8217;s a taste of how it looks.  If you&#8217;re seeing this shortly after I post you&#8217;ll see that I&#8217;ve been to the local Tesco and back as my most recent tracked journey.  Since the map updates everytime I switch tracking on you may see something different.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border:1px solid;\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/www.instamapper.com\/ext?key=14631099569430758175&#038;width=400&#038;height=300&#038;zoom=13&#038;type=roadmap&#038;units=imperial&#038;coords=d\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month I wrote about using my mobile, with a built in GPS, to transmit my current location so that my movements could be tracked on a map.
