With the newest technology of GPS enabled cell phones – we might as well have a sign that says, “find me.” This can have good and bad consequences, like anything. For criminals dumb enough to carry cell phones on them while attempting to hide – this is a great thing for society! This is also great news for cell phone users who dial 911 and need to be rescued. But for those crazy stalker ex-boyfriends, this is not the most comforting of things. 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.
