Approaching Instamapper Shut Down
I covered Instamapper a while ago but sadly this service is shutting down on Thursday, 13/12/2012 (just a couple of days time).
Users should have received notification via e-mail of the impending shutdown but if you’ve missed that message you should login and download your saved tracks if you have any as well and optionally delete any information you don’t require. Instamapper, to their credit, will be deleting all information anyway but it can’t hurt to give them a hand,
It’s very sad to see such a great service shutdown but there are alternatives such as Raah Tracker for iOS if you’re looking for a suitable replacement.

In 2012, I obtained my Masters of Science in Information Technology through the University of New South Wales @ The Australia Defence Force Academy (UNSW@ADFA).
I was also part of an online community known as the Panasonic Insider Crew in the capacity of “Insider Guru” for Panasonic Australia where I interacted with other tech enthusiasts and find out more about Panasonic's latest gadgets.
I love technology, gadgets, and the Internet and maintain a keen interest in these areas locally, nationally, and globally. I hope by sharing my views on these topics that people will receive an honest point of view from someone with a genuine interest in these topics.

mytrackingonline.com is a good alternative. They have a great iDen app but sadly, Boost Mobile is shutting that down. Gonna try Android I guess.
Do you know who runs Instamapper? Or do you have another email to contact them other than the support@instamapper.com one?

I don’t know who runs it but you could try their other e-mail address of privacy@instamapper.com and see if that helps. I even tried doing a domain whois but the registration information appears to be private.
Take a look at my free app
