Abstract: A Key Tracking System and Method of Operation allows a user to store a digital image of a key in a memory storage on a mobile device. The digital image of the key is stored with a plurality of keys for a user, creating a database of key images that are viewable for comparison, cutting references, key location identity, and other common key organization and tracking features. The stored digital image of the key is used to comparatively identify the key amongst digital images of a plurality of keys. The stored digital image of key can be compared with an image of a corresponding recall key in order to cut a key bitting for the key that substantially matches the key bitting of the recall key. The stored digital image of the key is associated with a location of a corresponding keyway structure that graphically displays on a digital map.
