I'd like to keep an eye on my three kids now and again. You know make
sure they are going where they said, or staying over with who they
said etc. Tacky I know but peace of mind over their safety is
paramount.

Any services that actually work well? I see lots advertise it but they
sound like scams most of them.

Thanks

They work.. When the phone is turned on.

I use google lattitude - download app for the phone that "phones
home". Lets "friends" see each others locations. Trivial to turn off on
the phone though.

See also "Locatorz" www.locatorz.co.uk but again, trivial to turn off
on the phone.

Www.followus.co.uk works quite well. Doesn't use GPS but can be used on
most all phones except the 3 network. Uses the timing signals between
base stations. Not as accurate as GPS but more often than not GPS is
sodded up inside buildings. Accuracy is generally around 2 to 3 hundred
metres sufficient for some applications.....

Thanks but I was looking for something that did not tell them we were
checking up on them.
