A dynamic tracking application 30 for a mobile communications device 10 is disclosed. The dynamic tracking application 30 enters 210 itinerary events into the mobile communications device 10 to create an itinerary. The itinerary events are plotted 220 on a map that can be displayed by the mobile communications device 10. The itinerary is then executed 230 by calculating and storing directions 430 to get from one itinerary event to the next itinerary event and calculating and storing estimated departure and arrival times between itinerary events 435. This is compared to the current time and location of the mobile communications device 10 to further determine whether the user can arrive on time at the next scheduled itinerary event based on the calculated time and distance to the next scheduled itinerary event 525.
