Hi Guys,
Is there any application available through which we can track particular android device on Map.
Say there are two users A and B (using "X" application) such that A and B can locate each other on google map.
EDIT: I got one app GPS Tracking, still testing..its not compatible with my Sony Tab
google maps includes latitude. They can use that application.
Cerberus?

Try Glympse, you can share your location in real time with your friends, I think this is what you need.

Check out glympse.com, you can setup how long you share and it can be shared with any one with a SMS or email address.
Do you mean record a path automatically just on your phone? Then use My Tracks, works pretty good.

What if I don't need a periodical updates.
I'd like just if someone wants to see my actual location, he opens the app, selects me and his app will send a ping to my phone which will once update my location and send it back to my friend, who will see my current location on the map. So that everything runs on the background without me even knowing.
I've been looking for such app for some time now, but without success.
Do anyone knows how to do that? Is there some app or whatever?
Thanks for ideas.
With Cerberus you can set it up so that 3 friends can send you an sms and get your location.
Hi All,
Phone Specification: Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 - CyanogenMod 7.
I am planning a long ride and because of the battery constraint on my device i would like to have only one app running and disable all others for that day. So that i can use google maps only and i can use almost everything of my battery for only that purpose. As it is a bike ride i wont get next charger point for the next 12 hours. Appreciate for all the advises. And please excuse my english
Thanks,
Arun
dont open any app & use a task killer
I'm sorry, there's no way to leave the phone with network connection on, GPS on, and screen on for 12 hours on an older device with a smaller battery.
My suggestion is to bring an extra few batteries and/or an extended battery.
@gam3boy task killers are no longer effective on Android 2.2+ they actually create more battery drain.

Has anyone else noticed that the Google now search voice is a lot of times cut off when giving definitions. Is there a setting to enable the whole definition being spoken? I've noticed when she does get cut off, it corresponds with the definition ending short on the Google card displayed. Thanks.

Almost all antivirus companies have device tracking enabled through web.if you configured and recalled the data.you can track the location of phone and can remote swipe/sms and many more.I have tested that using kaspersky and NOD32 and webroot.this is the only chance to track else after stolen people throw away SIM,format the phone or change the IMEI so impossible to track back.
I'm using avast! (Free) It has quite an extensive lost/stolen system built into it aswell as all the antivirus stuff. One thing I like about avast! (Not sure who else has this) it has a setting called 'Geo fencing'. Once set, if your phone leaves a, user set, distance from your current point, it automatically locks your phone and triggers any other protection activities, and sends a SMS to a pre-set cell number. Good for night clubs or busy shopping malls incase you get pick pocketed.

Avast! is pretty good when it comes to tracking.
Thanks for suggestions. Don't necessarily wanna install an anti virus on the phone.. Find they slow it down ( I know some people may disagree, but that's not the topic)

Android now has a built in phone locator which can be activated in Settings > Security > Device administrators. Check Android Device Manager.
Uses Google's push service so it doesnt poll battery.
Link to web interface: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
In addition, I use AndroidLost from Play Store. Runs through Google servers so no background usage. Has an advanced plethora of controls on the web interface. Check it out.
Google Device Manager
I have enjoyed using Google Device Manager. It has the ability to ring my phone for 5 mintues so I can find it easier. As well as the ability to locate it. Although like everything else depends on data connection. So if I lost in a park with a dead battery... NO DICE.

AndroidLost supports SMS controls. You could send an SMS message to activate GPS and auto reply the location, or you could send a message to enable WiFi/data and track that way.

Try Google Device Manager if you don't want to deal with a whole antivirus
Thank you for all the suggestions !! I'll look into each one as soon as i get a moment. I'm sure others will benefit from these as well

agreed, i use android device manager. used to use the samsung version, but now that google offers it then i'll use that one.
I used to use Avast, but now I can just use Google's Device Manager or even CyanogenMod's which is crude for now.
Device manager seems to work well. It allows you to locate the device from another browser using Google maps, allows yo to ring the phone even if it's on vibrate or silent and once set up allows you too lock/erase all data from it.

cerberus is the best option for little money ( 3 € ) can have about 5 devices, and allows for many things, what I'm wearing and not disappointed.
Check out "Wheres my droid" from the play store. It is full of great features. Can set up triggers from text or phone numbers to make it ring. You can get is location from sending a specific text to your phone. You can lock it down,take a pic and even wipe it clean. Great app

Actually, this is a really important point. Which of these apps are still able to perform their advertized functions after it is being lost? Supposedly, whoever is in possession of the phone will through out SIM card and do a factory reset so all apps that use google services will not work anymore as they are Signed out... Are apps from antivirus suites immune to this?
Is it possible to disable this app without rooting?
It is too limited and I use a much better app for tags, but every time I scan a tag I have to choose between Magic Tag and the app I actually use.
I cannot disable Magic Tag in "settings - app" nor is there an option for selecting a default tag reader.
I hate it when manufacturers do not allow deleting or at least disabling their useless bloatware.
