Finding your car at the airport parking. Son has a Garmin GPs. Mostly
I sit in the car with my cell phone on and he picks up relatives.

, he also has a cell phone too besides the
Garmin. Do you think he can locate me and the car in the massive international Miami airport?

If you both know how to hack into the garmin to get your exact coordinates and aren't in a parking garge he could get to within 10 or twenty feet.

If neither of you do... then no.

Its possible only if you both knew how to do it.

I will have ask my son . He is a computer specialist

[Fr_Chuck]

Do both cell phones have GPS tracking, the smart phones have programs that show your location and routes you have traveled to other phones, In the US, I could use my phone or computer and know my sons exact location ( OK his phones exact location) anytime I wanted.

[smoothy]

When I mentioned coordinates... I am talking numerical coordinates... not physical adresses...

I'm not familiar with the cell phone apps mentioned by Fr_Chuck or their capabilities.

Is it a car-based GPS device or a portable one? There are many models of Garmin GPS devices. If you can mark a waypoint and send the coords to the phone then the phone can use a free app to navigate to those coords.

It a portable GPS . And the phones are both Tracfone.

[NeedKarma]

All handheld GPS units can mark a waypoint. You would do that from at parking spot, which may be a little innacurate if you are in the middle of a multi-floor facility since the GPS needs to see the sky.
Then, from the airport you would select that waypoint and navigate to it.

I didn't recognize that phone brand so I had to Google it. I'm pretty sure it's too old of a model to do any GPS functions.

[pastor1189]

Yes the tracfone does not have GPS capabilities

Tracphone is a pay as you go service. Not an actual cell phone. You can buy them anywhere and you buy minutes to use the phone.

I know I have a couple of tracfones They are not sophisticated phones. The portable Garmin GSP works okay. I am going to get a Nexus 7 that should do the trick

[NeedKarma]

Awesome. Let me know when you get the Nexus 7, I have the Galaxy 3. I can show you some excellent free apps.
