If your friends want you to be able to find them. They can help you locate their phone number on Google Maps,by sharing their location automatically with you. All they need to do is share with your contact via the Google Maps app and set a time limit (or not). That way, you\u2019ll see where they are anytime you want and entirely automatically. To do this, ask them to follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the Google Maps app,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"473\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/automatic-location-tracking-473x1024.jpg\" alt=\"automatic location tracking\" class=\"wp-image-5598\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/automatic-location-tracking-473x1024.jpg 473w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/automatic-location-tracking-139x300.jpg 139w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/automatic-location-tracking.jpg 499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 473px) 100vw, 473px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tap on your profile avatar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-maps-avatar-474x1024.jpg\" alt=\"google maps avatar\" class=\"wp-image-5599\" style=\"width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-maps-avatar-474x1024.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-maps-avatar-139x300.jpg 139w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/google-maps-avatar.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Select \u201cLocation Sharing\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick your contact and you\u2019ll automatically see their location in real time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manually_Location_Sharing\"><\/span><strong>Manually Location Sharing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also request that they share their location with you manually.

Tracking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IP addresses often provide approximate details of your location. So, you can use IP address tracking as an alternative to mobile number tracking with Google Maps. An amazing IP address tracking tool you should try is IPinfo.io This fantastic site provides a variety of online tools and APIs that can help unmask anyone\u2019s identity by quickly deciphering their country, state, and in some instances, neighborhood using their IP address.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/ipinfo.io\/account\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">iPinfo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipinfo-1024x492.jpg\" alt=\"ipinfo\" class=\"wp-image-5627\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipinfo-1024x492.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipinfo-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipinfo-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mobilephonelocator.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ipinfo.jpg 1304w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Input their IP address, you can enter it into the search bar and select the search icon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>View their approximate location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RFID_and_Bluetooth_Tracking\"><\/span><strong>RFID and Bluetooth Tracking<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also have your loved ones carry an RFID tag that sends a signal to your Bluetooth-enabled device. That way, you can be able to keep track of their movement especially when they are located in a specific area. Using RFID and Bluetooth tracking, however, works best for short ranges such as using them in warehouses, or within your home and property. It is especially best for indoors where GPS may not provide reliable data due to the short distance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Google_Maps_be_used_as_a_tracker\"><\/span><strong>Can Google Maps be used as a tracker?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Maps can be used as a mobile number tracker, providing the means to share and receive details about GPS location data in real time.

Simply log in to Find My Device using the Google email address and password on that lost phone. Then from the listed devices, select the device you wish to locate and see its location in real-time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_track_a_family_member_on_Google_Maps\"><\/span><strong>How do I track a family member on Google Maps?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can track a family member on Google Maps, either by automatically having them add you to their location sharing or requesting they share their location with you. Alternative ways are using the Google Family Link, or logging into their Google account on the Find My Device app to uncover details about their whereabouts in real time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_track_a_live_location_using_Google_Maps\"><\/span><strong>Can I track a live location using Google Maps?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can track someone\u2019s live location using Google Maps if they share their location with you automatically.
