NetGPS is a small, freeware programme you can use to see where people are in real-time, as they travel around. All you need is Oziexplorer, a webserver, a wireless Internet connection and a GPS receiver.

For the technically minded, NetGPS sends NMEA data over a TCP/IP network to Oziexplorer, using HTTP.

The Remote can either be a Win32 laptop, eg Windows 2000, 95 etc, or a PocketPC 2002/3 device like an iPaq. The receiving computer just needs to run Oziexplorer and NetGPS Desktop. In between is the Webserver Component.

Last update: 08/07/2003, and there won't be one for a while as I have other priorities.
