I used to think that only hackers or very cool CIA agents can track the location of a mobile phone, and then only in films, but in fact, special software for this has long existed, and besides, it has recently become more and more popular among ordinary Internet users. I recently read an article on this online source
androidspy.org about how an employer can monitor the movements of his employees using tracking applications, more precisely, get the entire history of movements and places where his employee has been, even know the exact time of his stops along such a route. Probably there is a business industry where such control is simply necessary. But most of all, it seems to me that such monitoring programs are needed for parental control and the safety of children. It's also quite a useful feature - searching for a mobile phone if you have lost it.
