Abstract	We present an effective solution for both digital map generation and real time user tracking for teams operating in hazardous environments or unfamiliar territory. The system is based on the client server model, where the client is a GPS enabled mobile phone which is capable of capturing coordinates and serving dynamic maps to the user. The maps plot the team's navigational routes and enables real time tracking of each other. The server builds a GIS at the back end based on the data sent by the users, and also develops maps on demand. The system is implemented with simple hardware and uses the available GPRS network for data gathering. This enables the system to be used both in hazardous environments and by the general public.
