It is possible to track your iPhone online and offline with the helpp of GPS, but there sure are several catches as well. For example, iPhone normally doesn't run apps in background, so if you're planning to use applications like Instamap or something, it won't help much until that particular application is launched. To track your iPhone online whereever it goes, you'll have to break some rules.
To run application in the background of OS, you'll have to jailbreak it. You can jailbreak your iPhone using quickpwn or winpwn. Once its jailnroken, you'll see an app called Cydia installed on it.
Run Cydia, and from there install an app called "findmyi". Using the web interface you’re able to mark your iPhone as stolen and review a map with it’s location. The findmyi GPS agent runs in the background and contacts the server at the interval specified in the options menu to record its location. Free accounts are given an estimated location, and upgrading appears to be rather simple. It also allows you to place a message on your iPhone asking for the current user to contact the owner should you wish to.
So even if your iPhone get lost or stolen somehow, that was an easy way to recover it.
Good Luck!
