As usual we are trying to improve GPSed service to make it even more useful and convenient for our users.

Now we have updated cities database and also algorithm of locality determination was changed. After such changes the locality determination became even more precise.

How it could be useful?

Now you can get more detailed information on your tracks or the tracks by other users. Open you track, click on the track line and choose “Track info“.

Get an information on the country and locality where the track was started and where it was finished.

The track could be started in one country and finished in the other:

Or started and finished in the same country but in different localities:

Learn more about your tracks and the tracks by other users now in more details.

With kind regards,

In one of the previous posts we have announced GPSed Monitoring Service for tracking mobile objects on a map in a real-time. Now some new options were added.

• Disable Google Map overview

When this option is activated a mini map will not be visible on every Google Map of our service.

• New tracks by your subaccounts are private by the default

All tracks by your subaccounts are private by the default even if their status was “public” when the track was started in a mobile client. The status of your subaccounts tracks could be always changed on “public” manually.

At the moment GPSed Monitoring Service is available for a free beta-testing. Register with a trial account and get free unlimited access for 30 days. Create up to 50 subaccounts to try out the service. Beta testing is open until the end of February, hurry up!

As GPSed Monitoring is a rather new service we are waiting for your feedback. Leave your comments and help us to improve our service, to make it better!

Motivation from the jury - this In-Car application lets you track your location and share your track and position in real-time with your social networks incl. email and SMS.

Here is what Ross Rubin (Director, Industry Analysis and one of a judges) said about GPSed Mobile Application:

“What makes GPSed especially suited for use in cars? Using GPSed mobile application, you do not need any special expensive in-car monitors, all you need is handheld with Internet connection and application installed. Using GPSed, you can write tracks that visually are more beautiful than usual tracks. Besides, tracks may be longer because user can charge device’s battery right inside the car.
Making photos along the trip, its easy to download them directly to GPSed online archive.
Let’s imagine you’re moving across the territory of United Kingdom and your family in Sweden can see your trip pictures exactly in the moment when you stored them. Isn’t it amazing?”
