Use your mobile phone to map your travels

Remember when your grandparents sent postcards from strange and exotic places around the world and you would stick a pin on the map to follow their progress? Welcome to the Internet version.

Jumpclaimer! enables a traveller to stick digital pins on a world map. Friends and family can then follow the progress. They do this by accepting a simple SMS containing the nearest town to you. They do some analysis to find the latitude/longitude coordinate of the nearest town with that name using your previous location. This is then plotted on a Google map.
