Would you want to track the whereabouts of your kids or significant other using a mobile tracking system tied to your loved one’s personal device? As a concerned parent trying to give your offspring a bit of freedom from constant calls, finding out if your child arrived at school safely, or if she was hanging out at a friend’s home for the night using GPS tracking might bring you the peace-of-mind you’ve been looking for. Services such as Sprint Family Locator and Disney Mobile’s Family Locator allow for visual tracking of your family’s digital devices – using GPS technology to pinpoint location with amazing accuracy unless you’re inside of a mall or a concrete parking lot. Disney states ‘accuracy within 10 yards’ which is pretty incredible.
