Track your phone(s) with Phonelocator

Published by at

Phonelocator is a real-time GPS tracking application for S60 phones. It send location information to the Phonelocator website where you can view the phone's current position and a trail of where it has been. The software includes some intelligent algorithms designed to minimise data and power usage so you should be able to run it over relatively long periods.

Phonelocator lets you register multiple devices to one account. This means a family could choose to share a single account so that they are able to see the location of all family members.

Similar services, such as Nokia Sports Tracker or Find-on-a-Map, are available, but Phonelocator does have some unique features (e.g. multiple map types) and takes a more focused, minimalist approach. Moreover it is also in active development and the developer is very keen to receive feedback and feature suggestions.

The Phonelocator software and service is currently available for free and should work with all S60 3rd Edition phones.

The on phone software is relatively simple but has some very useful settings which help
reduce the impact of battery life and data usage.
