Deleting and finding something else. Even with the phone next to me before my daughter goes on her feild trip. Keeps saying screen on and screen off with no response on location. Need to have something reliable and this isnt it.

There are times when location of server cannot be located. However generally when location is retrieved, it is accurate. Works indoor on cell network.
