This study explains the GPS tracking on mobile phones for family safety. The aim of this study is to track children over the phones and to send SMS to notice parents when the child has a trouble or the child is out of the safe region determined by parents. The study also includes comparison of location accuracy on different devices and it focuses on the results of the application when different devices are placed at a (known) fixed location for a few hours.
