I used to use an iPhone app named Cabulous. It would track my location via GPS, along with other taxis, and customers could use the app to find a cab. Additionally, viewers of my broadcast could follow my location as I drove around. However, recently they came out with version 2.0, which tracks taxis through their companies, rather than through drivers' phones, and since my company does not subscribe, I am no longer listed. However, I bought an app called FollowMee which will allow people to track me when I'm driving. The URL is pretty ugly, so I created a short URL.
Using GPS really sucks up the battery, as does video broadcasting, so I have to keep my iPhone always plugged in. Even so, sometimes it gets unplugged or the cord wears out or I get a car without a functioning plug, so I bought extra power cords, a backup adapter, and an external battery, just in case.
