AT&T Pushes Family Locator Details To iPhone

Feb 5, 2010, 11:37 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Today AT&T announced an updated version of its FamilyMap iPhone application that comes with a number of new features. The biggest change is that it allows users to locate family members and see their whereabouts directly on their mobile phone. Previously this feature was limited to a computer. Users can now also customize more locations and points of interest, as well as their own devices with labels. Other new features that the application provides include the ability to check family members' schedules, set up landmarks, pan through the map to locate people, locate family members on-demand, and send messages to family members from within the FamilyMap application. The service costs $10 per month for two lines, or $15 per month for up to five lines.
