Abstract

A location tracking service is provided whereby a user of a communication device may determine a geographical location of a subscribing customer (110) of the service. The user conveys a request to the service (108) that the service determine a location of the subscribing customer (110). In response to receiving the request, the service (108) prompts the user to provide a subscribing customer identifier. Based on the provided subscribing customer identifier, the service determines a geographical location of the subscribing customer (110) by determining a geographical location of a communication device of the subscribing customer (110), and conveys the determined geographical location to the user. The service is also capable of providing to the user the length of time that the subscribing customer (110) has been positioned at the determined geographical location and a direction of movement of the subscribing customer (110).
