Smartphones do not only receive or send calls and texts nowadays. They are also means of net communication and monitor loved ones of their whereabouts and activities.
Supposedly, there comes a need for you to monitor a loved one on his or her whereabouts. There are few recommendations we have at hand in knowing someone else’s location. Be warned, however, that it is in your sole discretion in how to use the tools we are going to recommend.
- Foursquare

Through Foursquare, you can give tips about the places you like or dislike and send messages to your pals within your area.
- Twitter can be used in tracking a person or group of persons. Using the Twitter Advanced Search, you can monitor all the tweets from a particular area which can be pretty useful in gather news or relative information. You can also use their service like NASA Latitude and Longitude Finder to enter an address and search for its coordinates.
