We have apps that can passively keep an eye on friends and family members' whereabouts, and that's a huge relief. No more worry when someone forgets to call or is held up. A quick glance at your tracking app tells you all you need to know -- and then you can relax. If tracking the people you love sounds shady, or you're worried about spying, don't worry. These Android and iPhone apps are safe and I've used all the ones I recommend below.
Four ways to share your exact location with family (and why) - CNET
Contacts have to agree to be tracked, and the apps come with very clear instructions for use. As you read through each selection, bear in mind that this is not an exact science and that GPS signals determine how precisely locations can be calculated. What's more, none of these will work with the phone turned off. Designed around the simple notion of at-a-glance-tracking, Glympse lets you decide who you want to see your GPS location, and select how long they can track you.
Although location sharing ends once the time interval is up, it's possible to manually stop the transmission at any time. Along those lines, it's also possible to tack on extra tracking time.
How to Track a Phone without Installing Software?
Glympse is perfect to turn on when you're headed home from work and want to let your spouse know where you are. It's also great for friends to keep temporary tabs on one another when you're planning to meet up at a park or public event. Glympse also lets you share real-time locations, estimated arrival times, and travel speeds through email, text or social networks. I especially like the calendar integration, which shares location and your ETA with everyone. Glympse is free for both Android and iPhone.
This free app lets family members track one another in real time. One great feature automatically lets family members know when someone has entered a predefined location, like home or school. You can choose two such spots. So when the kids come home after school, Life 's app automatically checks them in and sends an alert to show they've made it. The app also includes a full location history, which is nice for an overview of recent activity.
The built-in "panic" option sends out an emergency beacon to designated emails, text and phones with your exact location of your GPS coordinates.
