The Boss knows where you are...
UK:- MobileLocate has launched the tracking service to enable businesses to track workers in the field via their mobile phones, with locations either displayed on a map via the user's PC or texted to a nominated mobile.
The service will be available on Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange and 02 and costs under £1 per month per phone. MobileLocate also runs the recently launched ChildLocate, a similar service aimed at parents who want to find out where their children are.
The principle behind this is using triangulation with base stations that have known lat/long coordinates. I applaud the childlocate service but have some reservations about the employee one.
