If you've got a Motorola iDEN phone that has Java and GPS built in, you're in luck. A free service called Mologogo attempts to stitch the world of the GPS-enabled phone into Google maps.

But here's where it gets cool: you can share your current position with your friends and they can locate you on their phone or on the web site. The uses of this are limitless (think “lo-jack” but not just for the car).
