Possible to track a phone on a map?

Just to clarify:

1. We're not interested in seeing a phone's tracks, just the current location.

2. We would like to be able to do this off the "Location On" Location setting, instead of the GPS function, to help preserve the battery in the phone.

Google latitude should do what you are looking for and it is already on the heroes. Open Google maps and under the menu i think it says join latitude. Just add who you want as friends and then on the computer log into to I Google and the map with all the phones that are friends will be there,

try GPS Tracker (Andrioid App) Its made my InstaMapper. I have it on mine just incase its ever stolen. You can set up how long it takes to update. Mine is updated every 30 mins. Its very accurate. You can also go on line and check it out. You just have to create a login and then your good. It shows on a map and satellite view of the phone and where its been.

Google Lattitude works.  I tracked my son's progress as he traveled to our location and back home during the holidays.

is there a way to make lattitude show movement of a tracked person in real time (by real time I mean if they were driving down your street it would show them moving .. not just update 1 time every 15 minutes) ?

is there any app that tracks in true real time?

Go to the market, search for ''GPS Tracker'' its made by InstaMapper. You download it, open it, go to the website and create an account. It will give you a passkey, copy the passkey. Go back to the app, after it opens press the menu key and select options. Enter the passkey and you can set it to send information in seconds. I have mine set for every 1800 seconds which is every 30 minutes for battery purposes.
