How to Locate a Cell Phone by GPS Online

1. Purchase or register for a GPS service. There are several, both paid and free, that you might wish to consider. Some of these are Mologogo, Accutracking, and Instamapper. As of 2010, these services range in price from free to $9.95 per month. The basic difference is that the free services will offer fewer features such as the ability to create reports and download the GPS data.
2. Mologogo has been around since 2005, is the simplest of the suggested services and as of 2010 is free to use. You simply register for the site, download the software and literally within minutes you can start tracking your phone. You will be able to log in to the website from any computer, Web-enabled PDA or smart phone, and you can follow your phone on the map wherever it goes anywhere in the world that has a signal.
3. Try Instamapper. This service is very similar to Mologogo. It offers real-time tracking with maps that update as often as every five seconds. Like Mologogo, it uses Google Maps, which allows you to toggle back and forth between a map view and a satellite image view. Instamapper will also give you the speed, altitude and heading of the cell phone that you are tracking.
4. Buy Accutracking. This service as of 2010 costs $9.95 per month. It has all of the features of the other two, but it also provides detailed information that can be downloaded and turned into reports. This includes details like the average idle time at a location, the past 30-day history of movement as well as the average speed of movement. This program is best suited for business or professional use--for example, if you need to track a fleet of drivers or employees that work outside of the office.
