With GPS technology now more commonplace in many new cell phones, that means that the location of anyone carrying a compatible cell phone can be accurately tracked at any time. The GPS, or Global Positioning System, tracks your geographical location by interpreting data from 3 or more satellites.

Cell phone GPS can pinpoint the location of a cell phone within about five meters, which is up to ten times the accuracy given to us by triangulation. Cell phone GPS system tracking has been a part of the technology that makes of cell phones since 2005.



Locating someone is a popular job for a lot of detectives and cell phone GPS tracking is one thing that makes this task a lot easier.

Cell phone GPS tracking can also be a useful feature to the emergency medical service personnel or police officers when responding to a 911 call from a GPS cell phone.

Picture the scene of a roadside accident where injuries have occurred. Cell phone GPS tracking is also a boon to the police force and emergency medical service technicians when they respond to emergency calls from a GPS mobile phone. Such calls are known as E911 calls, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has legislated that wireless (cell phone) networks provide location information for 911 calls made by their cell phone subscribers.

Cell phone GPS tracking can therefore be a useful feature for business owners and fleet managers who need to be able to keep track of their vehicles' movements. Cell phone GPS tracking capabilities can even show you the shortest possible way to get to a given destination.
