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.
Type: Freeware
Vendor: Instamapper
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.
To download and install click here: DOWNLOAD (jad)
i don.t know how to trace mobile please help me
There are detailed instructions for using this app at http://www.instamapper.com/howto.html
instamapper does not work on motorola theory (wx430). clicking jad file starts java and then immediately prompts you with “javax.microedition.location.location is restricted on this device.”
All the Boost CDMA non-smartphones block 3rd part apps from using the GPS. So none of the GPS apps on BoostApps work on the CDMA phones. They do work on the iDEN phones
Oops! I got it working all right.All I had to do was to walk outside to get a clear view of the sky…
Thanks U Dennis. Now, since my i415 just shuts down I’m trying to use an i856 (gps enabled) but it also just keeps “locating” don’t I need the “wireless web” to transmit data… Thanks again for your help.
Does anyone know if it works on an old phone? I have i415 and I’m not able to do the *159# trick; also, do I need to have wireless web in my prepaid phone? Mine just keeps saying ‘locating…’ Thanks.
I don’t know if it works on an i415. Wireless web is not required for Java apps to connect on Boost Mobile.
