Location tracking refers to technologies that physically locate and electronically record and track the movement of people or objects. Its technology is in use every day with GPS navigation, locations located on digital pictures and searching for businesses nearby using common apps. While location tracking is often associated with smartphone use since mobile devices have a GPS chip, there are other ways location tracking can happen.
Location tracking has several beneficial uses. Commercial businesses use it to track expensive machinery, fleets of vehicles, and product shipments, seeking to prevent equipment inventory loss. Hospitals use it to monitor patients to enhance efficiency in busy ERs and to protect infants in maternity wards, letting only the parents carry the infants using location tracking devices.
Additional uses for location tracking include wearable gadgets and apps for parents to track their kids and for law enforcement tracks offenders. The cameras you see at red lights, the cell phone app in your pocket, and activity monitors all have some location tracking capability, which makes the tracking of people’s locations and every move very seamless.
So are you craving to eat something or desperate to drink that juice, or do you want details on the closest location to buy diapers from? Not to worry, your Android device can help you locate a closeby diner, bar or provisions store. Its location tracking feature will make your wishes come true smoothly.
Your device will simply be aware of where you are and it shares your location with all kinds of applications that can assist you to locate stores, eateries, monitor your run or bike ride, show you driving directions and so on.
Sadly, for some people, they just prefer to move around without being tracked. If you are one of such people, you can simply disable tracking and move around anonymously. See How To Disable Location Tracking On Your Android Phone:
