Hi all,
I have a general programming question for a business I'm starting, and would appreciate any help you could give me. I was wondering if there is a GPS program out there for any cell phone (or multiple systems for different cell phones) that:
(1) would be easy to download and install on a phone
(2) would provide a computer with updated, GPS coordinates of a phone's location
(3) cannot be manipulated by the person with the phone to provide false locations
(4) can be legally used by a for-profit business
So far I haven't found anything. If this doesn't exist, any ideas on how hard it would be to program/ how much it would cost to hire a programmer to make it?
Again, thanks for any help you can provide me!
Best,
Andrew

First, I would suggest you do a little research on how GPS works.
How Does GPS Work?

GPS and cell phones are function on VERY different systems. That said, there are already GPS phones on the market. I guess the real question is: what aspects do you think are missing, and have you talked with a cell-phone provider about what you're looking for?
