A UK service called World Tracker uses cell tower data (or GPS, when available) to track the location of about any GSM cellphone.
Just enter the number you want to track into the service's handy Google Maps-based interface, and you'll be able to zoom in on
the device's location, with accuracy somewhere between 50 and 500 meters.
The first time you try to track a phone, a text message is sent to the owner, who must reply in order to enable tracking.
The service is currently compatible with O2, Vodafone, Orange and T-Mobile in the UK,
has plans to expand to other markets including Germany, Spain, Norway and the US.
If, that is, privacy advocates don't shut it down first.
