Maybe you\u2019re a parent and you want to see when your children get to school, or your spouse travels for a living and it\u2019s important for you to confirm that they\u2019re safe. Maybe a location tracking app is useful for you and your friends so that you all know where everyone is without having to text or call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking-300x205.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking-610x417.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/location-tracking-73x50.jpeg 73w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, you can use a location tracker for many reasons.

It lets you create places on a map so that when people arrive\nand\/or leave those areas, you\u2019ll get a notification telling you so. You can\nalso browse the map freely at any time to see where they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-mobile-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-mobile-app.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-mobile-app-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-mobile-app-610x390.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-mobile-app-78x50.png 78w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This location tracker is one of the best ones\nout there not only because you can add lots of people to your location group but\nbecause you can even make additional family circles, each of which that can\ninclude different people. Maybe you want one for friends and another for\nfamily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life360 is also very accurate. From my\nexperience, as long as the person has a good internet connection, you can zoom\nin on the map so closely that you can tell which part of a building they\u2019re in\nor which house they\u2019re at from a block of other homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version supports two people and two\nplace alerts. You can pay to add more family members and places, as well as\nadditional features like driving reports, hard break notifications, speed\nalerts, and emergency help services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"631\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-map-computer-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-map-computer-1.png 631w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-map-computer-1-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-map-computer-1-610x433.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/life360-map-computer-1-70x50.png 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Download Life360 for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/life360-family-tracker\/id384830320\" target=\"_blank\">iOS from iTunes<\/a> or get it for your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.life360.android.safetymapd\" target=\"_blank\">Android from Google Play<\/a>.

This location tracking app is totally free and\nlets you see the people you\u2019re tracking at the same time you\u2019re browsing Google\nMaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This app makes our list because it\u2019s super\neasy to set up as long as you both have a Google account with the Google Maps\napp installed. There aren\u2019t location-based alerts like with Life360 but you can\nsee the address the person is at, get directions to them, easily see what\u2019s\nnearby, and determine how much battery they have left on their phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/google-maps-app.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/google-maps-app.png 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/google-maps-app-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/google-maps-app-610x390.png 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/google-maps-app-78x50.png 78w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Location tracking on Google Maps is also\nsomething you don\u2019t even think about.
