If you are a GeoGroups or GPSToday user, you can now allow iPhone (or any other mobile platform) users to track your location via your Universal MyLocation Url, http://www.geoterrestrial.com/mylocation/username, for example http://www.geoterrestrial.com/mylocation/casper2.
Share this link with others to give anyone an easy way to request permission to see your location. Once the user has access, besides showing your location it will also allow the viewer to chat privately with you within the same web-page.
Note that this page will show anything only if you have explicitly shared your location, and only to users authorized by you. If you have shared your location in a public group which has no access restrictions, then your location will be visible to everyone.

If you have been tracking your location using the geoterrestrial platform, you can now access your location history on the website.
Click the History link in your My Location post to bring up a time-range selection. You can choose to show your past movements on the map, or download to file, or even attach pictures and publish it as a track in a group of your choice.
If you are a regular/individual user, note that you and you only can see your location history. Business group owners tracking employees or mobile assets can view and plot history for as many entities as required, simultaneously.

The 11th Raid-de-Himalaya will pass through some of the most breathtakingly beautiful and yet, harsh terrains of the Western Himalayas. Rallyists will be climbing over some of the highest motorable passes in the world, including the Tanglang La, the second highest motorable pass in the world, and spending nights under sub-zero conditions at camps.
GeoTerrestrial was selected by the Himalayan Motorsport Association for providing real-time geolocation services for leg 1 for all vehicles in the X-Treme category. Not only will this give the organizers a birds-eye view of progress, assistance can be directed more optimally in case of an untoward incident since ambulances strategically placed along the route will also be geolocation enabled. And of course, by virtue of being hosted on the web-based geoterrestrial platform, anyone anywhere in the world can follow the event live from their desktop, right now at http://www.geoterrestrial.com/geogroups/?group=raid-de-himalaya
