Think about the last time you went to the mall to check out some of the latest gadgets available in the market, and you will be surprised to learn that new features in cell phones and tablets are being developed almost every few months. Technology grows so fast, you may not even know what kind of gadget might come out next.
You can now do just about everything with your latest Android phone model—stream music or video, make video calls, chat with friends, watch movies or television programs, and even transfer files as fast as the batting of an eyelash! One of the newer features of cell phones is the GPS tracking which allows the user to pinpoint his location or the location of other people via satellite tracking. It works the same as the GPS navigation systems found in cars.
Even cheap phones have features to track a phone using GPS. On the other hand, some phones need to be installed with a compatible software program and connected to a third party company which offers GPS tracking services with fees. Check out your Android phone to know if it has this specific feature.
GPS cell phone tracking can do a lot of wonders. For instance, you can map out locations and create a chart of where positions were idle, se the location of other phone from your phone, track a person using the phone in real time mode, and calculate the speed, direction and altitude of the phone moving. Parents can use GPS tracking to monitor their children’s or teenagers’ whereabouts. Couples can also employ the technology to track one another’s usual standby places.
Security and emergency purposes are also catered by GPS tracking. In the event that you lose your cell phone, you can trace its location using the software. When someone has stolen your car and you left your phone inside it, you can also easily track the car with GPS. This feature also lets your loved ones know where you are at the moment so that they will be relieved from unnecessary worries.
