Task Name: TrackCell
Notes: This task is meant to be invoked by a home screen widget. The widget toggles tracking mode on and off. I was unable to figure out the formatting necessary to get the xml code below to show proper indentation and to not show hyperlinks.
Suggestion: Copy and past the text field values below to a blank txt file. Then use Dropbox or some other method to get the file on your phone. Using copy and paste will make entering in this task much easier.
Extra Credit: Combine this task with baudi's SL4A based task (http://tasker.wikidot.com/sl4a) for sending an attachment in email to consolidate the gathered data of an entire fleet of Android carrying map maker's into a comprehensive cell phone coverage map of your area.
