Using iPhone Safari to track another phone

I saw the prior post that iPhone will not be supported by Accutracking, but I'm not sure what that entails. I have a crappy Motorola Boost phone that I use as the accutracking transmitter, and I was using a Pantech smartphone to track it on mobile.accutracking.com. I just got an iPhone 3g and was hoping to be able to view the http://www.accutracking.com mapping pages in all their glory on the iPhone browser. This works EXCEPT that the motorola unit initially appears on a world map. When I increase magnification to zoom in, the Microsoft Earth page does not center the motorola unit and it does not allow you to scroll the map left/right/up/down. So you end up with a close-up view of some part of the Atlantic Ocean. Is this fixable/changeable?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Jeff

Did you try http://mobile.accutracking.com

That was set up for smaller browsers and may help - even though the maps are not the same...

Sure. That works, but the map is, well, small and not very good. It just seems a shame not to be able to use the full hybrid map image that the main accutracking site provides.
