Can you use the GPS to locate where the phone is? For example, if you lost it?

For all intents and purposes, NO. But fyi, it is possible if you know the right person. But who that person might be, I really wouldn't be able to tell you. If you ever find an answer to that let me know lol

My phone does not have GPS on it. When I take a photo for instance, it shows where the photo was taken, but after typing in the coordinates, Google map shows a satellite image of the cell tower my phone is linked with at the time the photo was taken.

No, this phone does not have that functionality built in for the end user to take advantage of. Only Emergency services could triangulate this phones position for E911 purposes.

You can track the Garmin by going to the Garmin website and pressing locate my device. If it is on your husband, it will indicate the location. No need for the Iphone also.

Yes & No.... The system requires cellular to acquire a gps/map location. I would suggest using a hotspot in conjunction with the iPad. Hope this helps.

It would be necessary to push the button to call for help. The most use we have found from the device is giving a very, very general indication of where our child has been (not even within actual blocks but much further from actual locations and without being informed in a timely manner). This could not be useful at the moment of kidnapping, might provide very general travel path information after the fact. The battery on the device doesn't hold up either. When our contract runs out, we will be switching to a smart phone with an app for tracking the phone.

Answer from Titantech: Can you find a hole in the GPS slot or SD card slot? Or you can find it in your user manual.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).

No phone locator BUT what I have done is put all the phones on my kitchen table and then had a friend call ~ off in another room under a newspaper was the lost one

No, it does not give you directions. However it will show a map where it was last located.

in theory, *if* you keep it charged and *if* you can get it to pair with your phone... and *if* you leave your bluetooth on all the time (and at that point *if* you still have a charge on your phone) you can locate the device - however I could not get it to do anything other than act as a poor bluetooth speakerphone

There isn't a locater on the unit, the gps is for guidance and the return home feature.

Yes. GPS works very well. I've used it while traveling in new york and was able to get directions.

I looked in my manual and found Handset locator and tried it. Yes it does have a locator.

Sorry this pertains to the gps tracking unit. You do not have to get softwear for it. Just put in a prepaid cell sim card and call the sim card number and it will text you with its current gps location. Then take the coordinatea and put them into the google search engine and you will get the location.

Yes. I can understand your confusion since unlike some GPS models it doesn't have a dedicated "go to" button, but the functionality is there.
