         2 . The find it map system of  claim 1 , wherein said object is a golf ball. 
     
     
         3 . The find it map system of  claim 2 , wherein said software application is configured to execute on the device and capture one or more images of the golf ball, wherein the software application processes the images and determines a distance travelled by said golf ball. 
     
     
         4 . The find it map system of  claim 3 , wherein said device is a smart device. 
     
     
         5 . The find it map system of  claim 4 , wherein the smart device comprises a camera. 
     
     
         6 . The find it map system of  claim 5 , wherein the smart device comprises a smartphone. 
     
     
         7 . The find it map system of  claim 6 , wherein the smartphone is capable of cellular triangulation to pinpoint a spot on a map. 
     
     
         8 . The find it map system of  claim 7 , wherein the spot on the map relates to a position of said golf ball. 
     
     
         9 . The find it map system of  claim 8 , wherein the spot on the map is traceable back to a fairway position. 
     
     
         10 . The find it map system of  claim 9 , wherein the spot on the map is calculated via said GPS to determine the distance. 
     
     
         11 . The find it map system of  claim 9 , wherein the spot on the map is calculated via said cellular triangulation to determine the distance. 
     
     
         12 . The find it map system of  claim 9 , wherein the spot on the map is calculated via said GPS to determine a set of directions. 
     
     
         13 . The find it map system of  claim 9 , wherein the spot on the map is calculated via said cellular triangulation to determine a set of directions. 
     
     
         14 . The find it map system of  claim 5 , wherein the camera is used after hitting the golf ball to take a picture. 
     
     
         15 . The find it map system of  claim 14 , wherein the camera communicates with the software application. 
     
     
         16 . The find it map system of  claim 14 , wherein the camera communicates with the software application and the GPS. 
     
     
         17 . A find it map system comprising:
 a server including:
 a processor; and 
 a memory in communication with the processor, the memory having:
 a database comprising at least data related to positioning and tracking of an object; and 
 
   a device capable of accessing GPS and including:
 a user-interface configured to enable communication with the server via a software application; 
   wherein said object is a game ball;   wherein said software application is configured to execute on the device and capture one or more images of the game ball, wherein the software application processes the images and determines a distance travelled by said game ball;   wherein said device is a smart device;   wherein the smart device comprises a smartphone;   wherein the smart device comprises a camera;   wherein the camera is used after hitting the game ball to take a picture;   wherein the smartphone is capable of cellular triangulation to pinpoint a spot on a map;   wherein the spot on the map relates to a position of said game ball;   wherein the spot on the map is traceable back to a fairway position;   wherein the spot on the map is calculated via said GPS to determine the distance and directions; and   wherein the camera communicates with the software application and the GPS.   
     
     
         18 . The find it map system of  claim 17 , further comprising set of instructions; and
 wherein the find it map system is arranged as a kit.   
     
     
         19 . A method of use for the find it map system, the method comprising the steps of:
 providing a find it map system comprising:
 a server including:
 a processor; and 
 a memory in communication with the processor, the memory having:
 a database comprising at least data related to positioning and tracking of a game ball; and 
 
 
 a device capable of accessing GPS and including:
 a user-interface configured to enable communication with the server via a software application; 
 
   taking a picture of said game ball via a camera on said device after said game ball is hit and said game ball is stopped at a position; and   using said software application in combination with said camera to track said game ball.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein said position is calculated as to distance and directions in a step-by-step format, said distance and said directions determined by said GPS and alternately cellular triangulation.
