Best apps for keeping tabs on traveling companions

Family Tracker, GPS Tracking Pro, and more

Family Tracker lets you keep up on everybody’s whereabouts “without a flurry of calls.” Once members of your group accept an invitation to your network, the app uses the GPS in their smartphones to track their locations. ($6 for iOS, $5 for Android)

GPS Tracking Pro is a free app that does the same kind of tracking, but only in a limited area. (Android only)
