Sprint Mobile Locator and Use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology?

Sprint Mobile Locator is a GPS-based communication and tracking service. Subscribers that are located are represented by the numbered symbols on the map display and the list display. Overall, there are two kinds of symbols, which represent various levels of location accuracy of the subscriber’s location and indicate which kind of method Sprint Mobile Locator utilized to calculate the location of the handset:

High Accuracy symbol: To locate GPS-enabled handsets, Sprint Mobile Locator uses GPS satellites to return the estimated latitude and longitude coordinates of the mobile handset with high level of precision and accuracy.

Low Accuracy symbol: To locate non-GPS-enabled handsets, and GPS-enabled mobile devices outside of a satellite coverage area, Sprint Mobile Locator provides an estimated location, calculated with other information, including the location of the cell towers around the device. This sort of calculation technique is generally much less precise and not specifically accurate, as when using GPS satellites and the distance to the actual location can be up to several miles. However, Sprint Mobile Locator always picks the method of calculating the most accurate location information available.

As you can see, it is very reasonable to use this service that Sprint PCS offers to enhance the business efficiency and communication between the employees.
