Family Locator

[alphatech]

I'm looking for a cellular family locator application, I have a LG Cosmos cellular with GPS capable. I tried using the Verizon service but every time I "Locate" it will email or notify the family member that he has been located. I would like to have something that is not invasive and is not expensive as of Verizon $10 a month.

Thanks,
Aldo

Use Google Maps latitude option. It works really well.

Thanks Rupp, do you know if this works on non Android phones? Did you try on any of these phones?

It has to be a "smart" phone that displays Google Maps.

Check out Google Latitude http://www.google.com/latitude and then the discussion over at this thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=149362

I have android devices and use life360. It's configurable on how often it updates, but the default is every 15 mins. It also shows sex offenders in proximity, police, fire, etc.

I track several iPhones and Blackberrys with Latitude.

Years ago, there was something called Mogologo that could track your position and text it back.

Yes Google Latitude does work with Android.

Hi,
I read thru the entire posts and plus, unfortunately I'm still having issues with this and I hope that someone with a similar phone may be able to help. I'm attaching the picture and the model LG Cosmos. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
