Tracking a mobile phone by GPS

Has anyone posted on this already?

The technology is out there already in most mobile phones, via GPS chips, to pinpoint the location of the phone when it is turned on to within a small distance (10 to 100 metres). This is quite useful say for emergency services to locate the phone, and so for public safety.

But, there are also plenty of commercial prospects for this ability, some of them not so nice, and we'll hear about them increasingly in the not-too-distant future - and I'm guessing they will become cheaper and more easily available.

So, for example, all you farang guys wondering what your Thai girlfriend or gik or online gf is up to when you're sitting there in Europe or North America by yourself, or all you Thai women wondering what your farang bf is really up to when he's back in his home country, can have a look:

GPS phone tracking service

Enter the country where the number is registered, the area code and phone number, make sure that the phone is switched on (or at least, try at times when it is likely to be switched on), and find where that phone is located using global positioning system (GPS) satellite technology and Google Earth style mapping! Cool.

Note: the website does post a privacy statement claiming that they do not record the phone numbers or use them for information gathering or commercial purposes. However, if you're still worried about privacy, don't visit the site.

I have no affiliation with the site. I just thought it was cool (and potentially scary) technology.
