Sharing my itinerary / Tracking my flight
Hello,
I am going on an interesting cross country, flying around 18h in 2 days in Canada. I would like my family and friends to be able to track me, or at least get info about my route. I was told that there is a website offering that service for free. I couldn't find it. Does any of you know about it?
Thanks

For $150 buy a Spot tracker. It wil send a message with lat and long every time you tell it to. For another $100 a year you can get tracking too, with automatic positions sent every ten minutes. It should work in canada.

I dont think there is a specific aviation system for Canada but for future reference if in the USA www.flightaware.com is the tool
What about mobile phones that have free tracking like Mobile cell phone GPS tracking

Not free, but Yellowbrick - Truly Global, GPS and Iridium based Satellite Tracking for Adventure does what you want, and seems to work well - probably overkill for your needs though.
The website FlightAware - Free Flight Tracker - IFR Flight Status, Tracking, History, Maps already mentioned covers Canada as well. However, it does not cover VFR flights IIRC. So, to be snooped on by friends, family and industry regulators you need to file IFR.
