New App Helps Track Loved Ones at Theme Parks

Where's Johnny?

OrlandoSun Sentinel: Parents know how hard it can be to track children at Disneyworld parks or even the local mall. It is easy to lose a child in a crowd, and older children often demand freedom to wander alone to other rides or stores. Now you can worry a little less.

That’s the beauty of the new free Find My Friends app for Apple iPhone and iPad: Via iCloud technology, you can track children, friends, even employees, easily, as long as they have an iPhone or iPad too. It makes it easier for parents to call up exact locations of children – or for friends to find other friends fast.

You also have the option to share your location with others. They can follow you as you move around a theme park or travel from winery to winery in California’s Napa Valley. Users can share their location with a group of people for a few hours, days, or even weeks.
