How to create a simple real-time location tracking website a la https://whereis.contolini.com

The steps below require a smartphone running Android. If you're an iPhone user you'll have to find an appropriate iOS app for step #4. Maybe this?

  1. Copy this HTML file to wherever you want your page to live.
  2. Create an account at MapBox and generate an API token on your account page.
  3. Replace my API token with yours in the HTML file.
  4. Install GPS Logger for Android on your phone.
  5. Create an account at ThingSpeak and get an API key. We'll use ThingSpeak to store your GPS coordinates.
  6. Create a new ThingSpeak channel. Enable all eight fields and make the channel public. It should look like this.
  7. R

Moto E LTEs can be obtained from MVNOs like Text Now with proprietary ROMs that prevent the device from being used with other carriers. These steps will allow the device to work with other carriers.

Note: These steps assume you're using a Mac OS X device. You'll need to adapt them if you're on Windows.
