The geocoder reveals your postal code, country, state, city, suburb and street name. You can put the latitude and longitude values into Google Earth to know the date when the satellite images were taken. The app uses Reverse geocoding to determine the postal address from your current latitude and longitudecoordinates. It returns the location based on your IP address, cellular service towers location and WiFi nodes that your mobile phone can detect. The location finder service uses the Google Maps Geolocation API to determine the place. The geolocation service is available on both desktop computers and mobile phones. Losing a phone is a big fear for most of us, and the last thing you want is that the tracker cannot do its work if the phone is switched off, which lets be honest most thieves will do the moment they catch hold of your device.Feeling lost? Not sure where you are at preset? The `Where Am I` app shows your current geograph location, including latitude and longitude, on Google Maps. Apple doesn’t have a checklist for its Find My network to operate, and we are glad that after all these years Google is finally close to bringing the offline option for its phone tracking. Google’s process to activate Find my device has been complex, wherein the company needs the Android phone to be turned on, location of the phone enabled and also signed in to the Google ID. The fact that the offline tracker was spotted in the Android 14 code doesn’t necessarily mean that we will see the feature in the next Android version, but we would like to act surprised if that does happen at the Google I/O 2023 keynote that happens next month. Google could have the tool exclusive to Pixel devices initially and then gradually bring it for other devices in the future Android versions. The tipster quoted in the report suggests the feature will come to Pixel devices and will be called Pixel Power-off. It is intriguing that Apple has offered this feature for iPhones for quite some time, Android folks never got the option.īut that could change now as the traces of code in Android 14 suggest Google is building the support for Find my device in offline mode, which means you will be able to track the device even if the person has turned off the phone. Android phones could soon support the Find my device feature even when the device is turned off.
