Location Services.. Domestic Violence advocate, I really need help :)

On a news program this morning, there was a segment about location services and how it was possible to see every place a person has been if the abuser has access to phone account.  I have an android and was curious if I could see where I had been.  I can not find where it would list those locations.  Anyone know where to find this?  I would like to show my clients how to see it and then how to turn that service off.

 

Thanks!

unless someone knows the persons password its not that easy to get the data.

The problem is that they would have the password.  Most abusers are control freaks and would have access to everything.  I know the best option is to get a new account with a secret password.  I just am floored that so much information is available so easily!  Thanks 🙂

the thing is most of it is not that accurate when your talking about gps data.  I looked at mine and I have several devices connected to my gmail account.  It shows me all over the place.  and even the right pings are off by over a mile depending on the tower.
