If you lose your Android phone or it gets stolen, you can use the Android Device Manager tool to track it down. The online tool can locate your phone and even let you ring it to alert you to its location -- even if it's set to silent or vibrate. You can also remotely wipe your device if it has been stolen and you don't think you can get it back. Note that if your phone has been stolen, don't attempt to apprehend the thief on your own -- alert the authorities and let them handle it.

Google's unified messaging application, Hangouts, has location sharing built right in, so if you want your friends to know where you are, you don't have to type in your address or try to figure out the cross streets -- just tap the location pin next to the emoticon icon in the text entry box to share your location with whomever is in the Hangout with you at the time.

Android-powered phones have a notification app called Google Now that brings up useful and relevant information at the right time, such as letting you know when it's time to leave to get to work on time. When you label both your work and home locations, Google Now can also alert people when you leave work and when you're about to arrive home.

The Google Play store has many apps you can use to share location information see Resources. Once your child, spouse or friend was out of sight, you literally had no way of knowing if anything was wrong until long after the fact.

The mobile phone made that a thing of the past, but smartphones have taken the ability to keep tabs on the people you care about to the next level. Whether you have an Android or iOS device, you can now permanently share your location with another person and have them do the same for you. What this means is you can check where they are at any time using the Google Maps app or by visiting the website. For Android users, this is a great option. This will happen automatically if either of you have ever sent each other an email or Hangouts message.

Since your mobile device is something that can be tracked, you can only do this from your phone.
