Tracking a phone.... Following a loved ones location
I'm looking for an app that can track a cell phone. One person has an iphone, the other has an android. Is there such a thing out there?

Verizon has one they call the "Family Locator" and Apple has an app for it.
We used it to keep track of our developementally disabled son when he was away.
I get the same responses while asking about tracking my developmentally disabled daughter. Why can't people just answer the question without all the suspicions.
I use a Spot beacon for travelling, hiking, mountain biking, etc. so my wife can keep track of me in case I don't show up when I'm supposed to. In my state the cell coverage is so spotty I'd never want to trust a cell signal if something happened to me. I've used it all around the world and it tracks flawlessly. The downside is that you do have to carry a separate device. But as a gadget guy I like it having its own power source so one usage can't drain the battery for another. I know I can be found even if I run my phone battery down taking pictures or something. I'm also in Search and Rescue so removing the search part is always on the top of my mind.
