Welcome to MyMovingMap: track yourself and others online!

Download the iPhone Client

The My Moving Map application is now available for download from the iTunes App Store. You can install it to your iPhone by clicking on the App Store logo on the left. Below is a brief walkthrough of how to use the application.

Using My Moving Map

When you first start the My Moving Maps application it will locate your current position using GPS. This may take up to a minute and can be helped if you are in an open area with good mobile reception and your Wifi signal enabled.

Once your location has been determined it will be sent to our servers. Initially your iPhone is not linked to an email address. In order to establish the link (so that friends can locate you online by searching on your email address) you must click on the Link button at the bottom.

Click on the Link to Email button at the bottom of the screen to select your email address from your iPhone address book. Linking the device to your email address allows people to search using that email address and locate you. For privacy reasons you may wish to use an email address that only a few people know relates to you, that way only those that know the email relates to you will be able to locate you.

Clicking on the Broadcast button (second from the left at the bottom) will start continuously broadcasting your location to the Web. As you move around your location will be automatically updated on our servers. If you then use the Search features on this website you should be able to enter your email address and see your current location.

Alternatively, you can click on the Find Friend button (left-most icon at the bottom). This allows you to select a friend from your address book and locate them on the map.

When you select your friend their last broadcast location is shown by a red pin on the map (see the image on the left). As you and your friend move around the map will automatically update with you and your friends latest locations.
