I've been using MobiTrack Pro for 2 years on a K750 with much success,  
unfortunately it's not free but you can get it for €23 here:

I've heard good things about Mobile Trails Explorer but it was missing  
a couple of features I wanted last time I checked so I haven't used it  
much (I think it was just pinging my location to a server). If you can  
get something on your phone saving the traces though it should be a  
simple matter to pull the traces to your eee via bluetooth or USB.
