Instamapper GPS Tracker
This app no longer works. The Instamapper service was shut down December 13th, 2012
Several people have requested an app that can track your phone on a map. Boostapps reader Clark recommended Instamapper which works perfectly. It runs in the background on the phone and you can view where the phone is and where it’s been on a Google Map by visiting instamapper.com (free registration required) with a PC browser, Bolt or Opera Mini. (Bolt seems to do a better job with the Instamapper site than Opera.)
The version posted here was designed specifically for iDEN phones and gets a GPS fix very quickly (under 30 seconds outdoors) on my i776.

Data Connection Required: Yes
Supported Boost iDEN phones: All Falcon Series with Java (i290, i335, i465, i776, i856, i9, etc)
Supported Boost CDMA phones: None
File Size: 18 KB
Downloading uses paid data. Downloads are for Java ME phones only.

data error 906 invalid descriptor lenght i have a cdma incognito can you help?
It won’t work. 3rd party GPS apps don’t work on the Incognito as the GPS API is restricted to apps signed in the manufacturer or operator domain and only preinstalled apps or ones you buy from Boost are.
There is no known workaround for getting 3rd party GPS apps to work on the Incognito.
I don’t know how to track my wifes phone can some one help me
I have opera mini on my i465,how do I open the instamapper? Thanks
Just go to http://www.instamapper.com/ with Opera Mini and log in. You need to turn off Opera Mini’s mobile view for the maps to display properly.
Thanks Dennis, but how do you turn off the mobile view?
Ok,I turned off mobil view and signed in,but it freezes at about 30 percent.Any ideas? Thanks again
Not really. Try reloading the page or maybe Bolt will work better.
how do u set this app to run fulltime on a i465?
* Enter the “Java Apps” menu
* Enter the following key sequence: *159#
* You will be prompted for an administrator PIN. The f default PIN is ‘0000’.
* Set Instamaper as a “Full Time App”

Thanks again Dennis
This app works good on my i465. When running in the background it does seem to lag the phone a little though.
I should also add the I use opera mini 4.2 to view the mobile website (have a favorite for it) and it’s the fastest way I’ve found to see a map of where I’m at.
