PerDiemCoPDA is a freeware GPS location and tracking utility for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 based devices that provides controlled access to real-time Maps linked to your location [via]

You can control access to maps by defining a ‘PIN’ number for your location data. This ‘PIN’ and the deviceID are used by anyone you give the ‘PIN’ to, for internet access to a map showing your trip or your current location. A Trip can have a number of PIN numbers; each trip segment can be viewed with its own PIN. Registered members can create, access, edit, and manage their PIN’ and maps. Non-registered users can only access maps via the Internet. They can only do this using your ID (Device Name) and the ‘PIN’ you provide.

The unique feature about this application is SMS Control that allows you to remotely manage & change GPS cofiguration settings & get GPS location coordinates securely using SMS text message commands if the option is enabled in the application.

The SMS commands are:

##1## DEVICE PIN (GPS ON)
##2## DEVICE PIN (GPS OFF)
##3## DEVICE PIN (Inside ON)
##4## DEVICE PIN (Inside OFF)
##5## DEVICE PIN (SEND Location)
##6## DEVICE PIN (Poll ON)
##7## DEVICE PIN (Poll OFF)
##8## DEVICE PIN (Notify ON)
##9## DEVICE PIN (Notify OFF)
##0## DEVICE PIN *CellPhone#

A sample command would be (Device PIN being 0000) ##1## 0000
