What is the best low cost mobile GPS geo-location broadcasting setup?

  • I'm looking to find / build a mobile location transmitter that would have the following constraints low cost (sub $50) for the hardware long battery life, based on the device broadcasting location every 5 min and doing nothing else, days between charges? two simple buttons: start broadcasting: stop broadcasting the geo-coordinates are relatively accurate most of the time -  30 meters   (used almost exclusively outdoors in San Francisco) One thought is it could some super cheap older model cell phone, some simple native app to send geo coords to web service or send sms (if this circumvents a data plan), super cheap pay as you go phone plan, put it all in a box and just expose two buttons and the charging plug. Are there solutions or projects that already exist?

  • Answer:

    GPS Web Broadcaster for Android will do exactly what you are looking for; on the Android Market and http://Amazon.com App Store.
