Below we provide reponses to many of Frequently Asked Questions about our Location Based Services.
When you "ping" a phone via our LBS service, we request the phones last known location from the networks. This is returned to you as a Latitude / Longitude fix along with a degree of accuracy.
The networks determine the phones position relative to two or more phone cells. Therefore the greater the cell density the greater the accuracy. Within an urban area accuracy can be within 100-200m whereas in a remote area accuracy is measured in km's.
