To clarify Fezzik is describing Google Latitude

 

 Family Locator works quite differently:

 

Family Locator is effective for checking in with other family members

 

- when they arrive or leave any location you define such as home, work, parking garages, school, play grounds etc.

- during specific times of day on specific days, i.e. curfew, end of day, beginning of day etc

- whenever you wish by visiting fl.vzw.com from any mobile device or familylocator.vzw.com on any PC

 

Family Locator does not require the person being located to update their location

 

- the location is automatically detected by the Verizon 3G Network

 

Family Locator can locate people inside buildings

 

- Family Locator uses AGPS which permits in building locates

 

It is good for checking in with others

 

- Once found you can get turn by turn directions to that location using VZ Navigator

- Once found you can send the found individual turn by turn directions to the nearest gas station/atm etc using VZ Navigator

- Once found you can send a free family message out to everyone in the family

- Once found you can see a birds eye view of their location to have a good understanding of where they are

- Once found you can identify the location for arrival & departure updates and automatically be notified when the family member arrives or leaves that location another time

Stop spying on your kids...... And vz nav has always been hit and miss... What would we have done before cell phones?? Write directions, and trust loved ones. Ha ha ha

Why would you want VZ Navigator when Google Navigator is so much better and free?

It is convenient to locate your child and then with one click receive turn by turn directions to your child. Sometimes you can be in quite a hurry and driving while you are doing this, so simplicity is sometimes best.
