Best Android tracking app which has location history recorded

Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 17:49

Hello everybody,

I am looking for an app, preferably free, which is reliable and accurate for tracking my phone. The most important feature is location history meaning I want an app that sends a signal every three minutes or so and hence records the route my phone is taking.
This is to determine where my car is going when borrowed by one of the kids (to ensure that they are safe where they go) and also when at the garage (as I suspect that garage employees might use the car for private use on weekends).
Also, if anyone has any experience which cheap android phone would have the best/longest battery life for this purpose that would be great (should at least last from Friday to Monday).

Apps I found through Google which were recommended for this purpose are Cerberus and the Android Device Finder.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Friday to Monday pinging the the GPS constantly, can't imagine any standard mobile battery lasting that long.

    Have you looked at google timeline? It's built in.
    https://www.google.com/maps/timeline

      ^^^ This is a good option.
      So long as you are willing to leave your phone in the car, switch on, and signed in to Google, it'll track you.

      I already use Google Timeline to track my travel (just for fun) and it's actually surprisingly accurate.

      Would tethering it to a usb battery bank work for making it last the weekend? I'm guessing OP doesn't want to use cigarette lighter to keep it more hidden.

      • Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 18:24

        Correct.

        I will have a look at google timeline. The phone will have nothing else running but whatever is needed for this exercise.

        Does any of you use, or have you used, Cerberus or any other tracking app? I am happy to set intervals at 10 or 15 minutes to save on battery usage.

      • GregMonarch on 06/09/2017 - 01:36

        Depends on the battery bank. e.g. The QC2.0 one that comes up here often… If I plug my phone into it, once the phone is charged, the battery bank turns off - and does NOT turn itself on again, even if the phone goes flat. You have to either unplug/plugin the cable again, or, press the button in on the battery bank.

      Aside from the legal requirements that in my opinion OP has not met.

      No need to ping constantly, lots of phones have significant motion sensors and even accelerometers. Only need to get location data when moving. And no need to get it every second… every 5 minutes should be enough.

        Shouldn't be a problem - OP is installing it in his own car.

        • Sxio on 04/09/2017 - 17:15

          I think it may be, it's his car, but whoever else is using it would have the presumption that they're not being tracked. Good chance OP is actually tracking someone in particular so… dicey at best.

    Maybe search for a gps tracker and install that. Something like this https://www.jaycar.com.au/3g-gps-vehicle-tracker/p/LA9026?ut…

        They'll see the phone too as it will need to be out so it has gps signal.
        The small gps box can be hidden, antenna won't look like much.
        Says it does what you want and if disconnected from car power it has a battery for 4 days.

        • Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 19:08

          Ok. I will check with them.
          So you do not think the phone would work if strapped under a drive seat or put in the backpocket of one of the seats?

        • PVA on 03/09/2017 - 20:26

          @Lysander: try it with your phone and see, but gps needs some kind of line of sight to a satellite.
          Without gps the tracking is not accurate .

          I wonder the justification for driving the car on weekends when garage is closed (and car should be on their lot) and the distance difference is like 150km - pretty long for a test drive in any case.

          So they are agreeing to the tracking device? ie. You explicitly stated that they car has a location tracking device?

          How am I lying? I am sorry but I do not subscribe to the softly, softly approach. When the kids is lying dead in a ditch because it went somewhere unsafe, or something happened to him and I do not know where to look for him, then I am sure I will be grateful for the softly, softly approach and can console myself with that.

        • Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 18:42

          @fruit:

          Sure. Why do you think I want the device to be working from Friday COB to Monday morning - the garage is closed and that is when I will put the device into the car and ONLY then.

          Are you my mechanic and are getting scared now? ;-)

          Because you never stated to your kid that there is a location tracking device in the car, which is a legal requirement under the The Invasion of Privacy Act 1971.

          All you need to do is get consent.

          @fruit:

          Maybe read the act. A tracker is not a listening device at all:

          listening device
          means any instrument, apparatus, equipment
          or device capable of being used
          to overhear, record, monitor
          or listen to a private conver
          sation simultaneously with its
          taking place.

          I have checked thoroughly- all good as it is my car and my phone and the kid has been given limitations and told that any contravention will be found out.
          While I understand that you would like all this fanciful legislation to apply the fact of the matter is that data protection in Australia is virtually non-existent, compared to other countries.

          Source: I actually work in this area.

          Note: Not providing all information there is does not constitute lying - there are certain exception where there is a duty of disclosure such as purchasing a house or a car.

          I am not tracking the kid, but the car. When the kid gets out of the car, there is no tracking.
          I track my property only.
          As I said, if tracker was on his phone, that would be different.

          As much as you like, on this occasion no consent is needed whatsoever.

          Think about it also this way: if I use timeline on my phone and one day one of the kids asks me if they can borrow my phone for the day (as theirs is broken or out of credit), do you really think that then I need to obtain consent from them. Technically, the provider also then needed to get consent from them as the texts he sends, the GPS location data is his and the providers has not obtained consent to keep this data.

          Of course not, as I am the owner of the service and they have my consent. Any other solution would be totally unworkable.

          I have read the Act. It does not apply here. If I only use timeline, it is not a listening device at all.

When there wasn't enough parking inside the premises because too many cars were being repaired, the owner sometimes asked me to take a customer's car home and in my backyard. If the car owner ever found out - so what. It was going the extra mile to keep their car safe from being stolen - and I wasn't driving it anywhere else using their fuel.

      I would rather have him mad but alive than not mad and dead.

      Also, in my family you do not have any right to accuse anyone of anything if you are the one doing something first.

      He obviously does not care about my trust (he has been seen before by a neighbour but for obvious reasons the neighbour does not want to get involved) and he outright lied and denied it. So who has broken the trust here?

        I don't really disagree with your decision to track your car when the kid is driving, but could you explain how a tracker (that the kid doesn't know about) actually keeps the kid alive?

        Like, if the car is doing 160km/h and about to hit a tree, does the phone apply the brakes? Does it have a voice that says "I think we should slow down" when his mates encourage him to drive faster? Does it detect alcohol vapour and lock out the ignition?

        As far as I can see, an unknown tracker will provide evidence at the inquest, but not prevent anything.

        • Lysander on 04/09/2017 - 11:08

          I have discovered there are apps which notify me if a certain speed is exceeded.
          I could then wait until the car is stopped and call him to let him know that I know. He will then behave responsibly.
          As for safe areas and people I do not want him to associate with, it is similar. I can call him to let him know that I know where he is and that he lied to me. I can assure you that will be enough to scare him off doing it again.
          Especially, since in the future I will fit the car with a proper tracker such as Lo-Jack which will then cut out ignition when it is safe.

          @Lysander: OK the speeding one makes sense, but you could likely skip the "wait for it to happen then call" part by simply telling the kid the car is bugged.

          Controlling who your kid hangs out with by tracking the car just ain't gonna work. They can always arrange to meet the 'undesirables' on neutral ground, or park at an allowed location and walk, etc etc.

          i.e. What would you have done if you were a kid under this regime? Some people would make a game out of it and go out of their way to fool you…

          @abb:

          When I grew up that stuff was not necessary at all as there were other "incentives" not to do stuff. Also, if I had already lied to my parents then it would be fair enough. That's how I would see it.

      • Sxio on 04/09/2017 - 17:20

        Why don't you just tell your kid that he's been seen doing the wrong thing, that you're having trouble trusting him now (but hope to rebuild trust) and stop letting him use your car?

        • Lysander on 04/09/2017 - 18:02

          Because the neighbours don't want to be involved. And I cannot simply say he has been seen as I might as well make that up (that is what he will say and I have to admit he would be right). So, without mentioning the neighbours and ideally them confirming it, I really have no proof.
          With tracking I would have proof or could "by accident" bump into him in the area/at the address he is not supposed to be at.

    Lol on a Saturday night when you're tracking your kid and they drive "somewhere unsafe" where they are at risk of "dying in a ditch", what exactly do you plan to do?

    • Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 21:50
      +3

      Sure, better to take any risk than being safe.
      I bet Carly Ryan's mum disagrees with you on that. She never thought what happened to Carly was likely or possible and guess what - unlikely as it was it happened.
      Somewhere unsafe can be outside town, to a house where he is not supposed to go due to the people being there (drugs/alcohol) etc. But I am sure where you live only good Christian pastors and their families live (in fact, that would also be concerning to me!).

      On a side note: a child predator was previously arrested in our suburb because he observed houses with children always parking his white van outside the house for hours and watching. Also, there are people in normal schools dealing drugs etc. I just do not want the kids to associate with these people and being lured by them. I think that is my right and responsibility.
      Bad people do exist mate.

        Yes, the good old strawman argument. I asked how you plan to discipline your child. You freely admit your prior efforts have failed. How is your android phone going to tell you your kid is driving to meet a pedo or druggie?

        If they "disobey" you again, what do you plan to do? I'm sure they'll be very accepting of finding out you've been spying/tracking/"preventing their death"

        Also do you have an ETA on when you plan to stop tracking them? 18? 21 years of age?

          A)It is none of your business how I discipline my child. This post is about a question for a software item and you made it something else. See, the kid has the same listening skills as you and hence he needs assistance in doing the right thing.

          B) I know where the bad kids live and what their addresses are. If my car is anywhere at those addresses I know what he is up to.
          Also, he can only take the car if we agree where he goes. If hes says he is going to the bowling alley but ends up in the druggie area of town I know something dodgy is going on.

          C) If he behaves, no need to track. If he comes clean, we have a chat about the whole thing again and with the added knowledge that he won't get away with it, he will likely be OK.

          D) He knows about the dodgy mechanic issue. He is also smart enough to not kick up a fuss if he has done the wrong thing in the first place as he will know that from that point onwards he will be walking again. Where I grew up, if he do something wrong in the first place, you do not kick up a stink and keep a low profile, especially after lying to us previously. I know that Australia is a bit like the US where a robber can blame (and sue) you if he or she gets injured while breaking into your premises because you set up precautions. I do not adhere to that approach but obviously you do.
          I am happy if he is alive but cross with me.

          @Lysander:

          A) you shared all the kid stalking discussion yourself. You only have yourself to blame.

          B) you know the location of all the drug dealers in town? Really? So once again, if your app shows him at a drug dealers house what are you going to do? Ban him from using your car? What will that solve - they'll just get a lift with friends (who hopefully you won't be GPS stalking) and create a greater void in the relationship between you two.

          C) he will likely be OK your stalking him? Lol

          D) strawman argument again.

          No need to throw your toys out of the cot. Kids 20 years ago would never act like that. I was trying to address the point that you need to have a bit more foresight regarding you spying plan. No matter the outcome, you lose.

      Lol on a Saturday night when you're tracking your kid and they drive "somewhere unsafe" where they are at risk of "dying in a ditch", what exactly do you plan to do?

      Slow down there, chief.

      OP's plan would enable him to ensure that his rules are being followed and intervene if they aren't, thereby giving OP more opportunity to prevent an incident.

      What that intervention might be, is a whole 'nother can of worms…

      And kitchen knives are (mis-)used to stab people, for sinister purposes other than the ones they were designed and made for.
      Computers are used by pedophiles to lure people, and VPNs are used to hide from the police - hence everyone who asks about a powerful computer or reliable private VPN is evil - is that what you are suggesting?
      Are you going to put every Ozbargainer under general suspicion of doing something evil?
      Very interesting - but fits with the general attitude by many companies in Australia.

  • idonotknowwhy on 03/09/2017 - 22:29

    Also, if anyone has any experience which cheap android phone would have the best/longest battery life for this purpose that would be great (should at least last from Friday to Monday).

    Get a huge Xiaomi battery brick from the next Ozbargain deal, and leave it hooked up via USB.

  • pinkyporkchop on 03/09/2017 - 22:32

    To actually answer your question.

    My wife and I use Google maps location tracking ('share location') to keep track of our phones. It works really well and only updates if the phone is moving or its been a while since the last update. (I think every couple of hours but I'm not certain).

    I've heard good things about Cerebus but you have to pay I believe. I'd try the free option first.

    As for the battery life, keep in mind you'd need a cheap sim card too. If you've got basically nothing on the phone except maps & gps on, (so nothing like facebook, snapchat, or anything that is constantly pinging data) a semi-decent phone will last a few days. What's your idea of a "cheap phone" though? A battery pack may work, but will also drain quickly due to constant drawing of power, so I wouldn't expect it to last the week.

    • Lysander on 03/09/2017 - 22:38

      3-4 days is enough. I have an Alcatel One Touch and it has nothing on there that would draw power or data.
      I will definitely try your suggestion - I have tried to get google Timeline to work but was not successful - it just does not seem to want to update.
      Thank you for your help.

      • pinkyporkchop on 03/09/2017 - 22:50

        Make sure you have a different google account signed in on each phone. Then share location with the other account. Make sure you accept the request on both accounts. Should work fine then. At least that's how ours was set up and it still works perfectly now.

  • lawyerz on 03/09/2017 - 23:15

    Google Timeline is also my recommendation. It's automatic - accessible via desktop or any other android devices via google maps. it is surprisingly accurate.

  • Umcookies on 03/09/2017 - 23:45

    Feel sorry for the poor kid, but who knows maybe you can justify it for yourself somehow.

    Anyhoo I too use Google timeline, works wonders and is pretty accurate. Handy dandy map overlay, automatically adds stops when it detects them with time stamps and duration.

    • Lysander on 04/09/2017 - 00:34

      Yes, in this particular case it is better to be safe than sorry. Tried the talking, explaining, hoping for insight approach already several times - it does not really work.
      And I cannot be a nervous wreck constantly - not fair to the other kids.

  • String name on 03/09/2017 - 23:46

    Like many have mentioned, Google Timeline is a great way to get up and running in a moment.
    There is always Tasker with its ability to:
    * Respond to requests
    * Deliver reports (i.e. low battery, speed exceeds xx Km/h)
    * Track via cell tower telemetry
    * Notify OP if a condition is met (i.e. car leaves premise, but OPs phone is not nearby)

  • Lysander on 04/09/2017 - 00:20

    Thank you.

    I do not seem to get Google Timeline to work. I think I did everything needed for it to work and it has been on for hours, I went out to test it but still there is no data whatsoever. I have wifi and mobile data on.
    Not sure what I am doing wrong.

    I will check Tasker as well and see what it can do.

    Thank you all.

    This is a pretty good app, not sure if you can change the refresh rate to every 3 minutes or not. But there might be a way to do it, if you look into it.
    If you want more than a 2 Day location history, you have to pay though.

    • mingofmongo on 04/09/2017 - 08:30

      Our family uses life 360. Good app but i haven't been able to find a way to lower the looking interval below 20-30 minutes.
