If you are searching online for location mapping services, you can count on Mapping Miami. While they don’t offer location services in every state, they do have a great local focus.
Their website lists a lot of services that can be used for maps and locations. If you are on the road, they have a great service for driving directions and a great service for maps of major cities. They also have a great service for GPS-enabled smartphones.
The service is free for those who have their location set to “dynamic” and will only charge $5 a month if you want that extra level of accuracy. Since you are getting maps of cities, you can use them to find restaurants, museums, etc. However, it’s one of those services that people can pay for and get a lot more out of than what they are getting for free.
A lot of times they will have you pick a map to use. Sometimes that can be a very bad idea. I have done that at times before and had to cancel the service. I always recommend that you use a combination of GPS and satellite (I like to use maps that I download from the internet, or from a friend) so you don’t get confused because you are not sure which map to use. If you don’t know which one to use, I would not recommend using them.
Location services are a great way to find a service if you don’t know what it is. Even if you are not looking for a specific service, you can still locate it. I don’t think you can always guarantee that you will be given a location when you try to use the service. Sometimes you will have to put up with people putting you in a wrong place, and sometimes you will have to call people up at the wrong time, or have other phone companies not be around.
For our purposes we will use locatel, a location service that is available to all in the US. It is similar to the great site locator, but it works on phones. You can get a location for any place you are (even if you know it is not your specific location). It has a few different types of locations, and you can set up your own, or use the one that is available to you.
The great thing about locatel is that you can use it for free. There is a $10 price-tag for the one-time use, which is really pretty cheap. There is also a $10 credit line for the service. As long as you have a phone number, you can register and have the service for free. If you have a mobile phone, you will need to get a locatel account to use it.
When you first connect to locatel, you will be asked to create a username and a password. Once that’s done, you will need to create a short password-protected email address. That email address will be used to verify your account and to send you messages. You can also set up an online profile for locatel to display things like your location and photos from your phone. You will also be charged a 15% fee for the service for each day you sign up.
The fee is pretty low compared to most other locatel services and you can sign up for the free account for a day or two. Once you sign up, you will get a message in your email that will say your account has been activated. Once you do that, you can head to your profile page in the locatel app and create a new account.
