Cell phone with GPS tracking

by Uncletg - 8/27/04 3:52 AM

I have been told that there is a cell phone that has the ability to be located (user located) by means of GPS. Does anyone know the brand/model? I have a young child that goes to middle school and is riding the bus and I would like to be able to locate her at in the event of an emergency or if she does not show up on time. I can't monitor the crazies but I can monitor my child.

The only real GPS tracking phone is the i730 from nextel and there is a program out that will load on your computer that will show location of phone all the time nextel is the only company that uses GPS sats to track phone other companys use tower triangulation of the phone signal very unreliable.Also the i530,i830,i305 and the i205 has the tracking capability.you can even bring up the sat location 0n the main menu where it says GPS

Nextel and Southern Linc are your only choices in US.

Nextel and Southern Linc(same difference basically) are the only current providers in the US that allow you to track their phones via their GPS chips. You can track several services phones in the UK and in Hong Kong, not sure about other countries. I'm hoping that the US companies will get with it, most still don't support giving you mapping on your phone in realtime so you can use it for navigation. Ugh!
