Hello everyone.
I would really appreciate someone answering this because I am looking for a smartwatch for an elderly person. I want a 24/7 gps tracking.
So can it be used standalone without another phone? Is cerberus or google's find my device available on the app store? or can you recommend another smartwatch with standalone simcard and gps capabilities?
Thanks!

I have been searching for gps/navigation applications that support offline usage, aka installing maps on the device where no internet is required for the application to work..
I found NavFree USA, which apparently supports offline mode.
Is this a good GPS application?
If you have any other you think is good/better, please list them. Paid applications or not. NavFree USA does not require a payment to install; it is free.
Please comment the GPS/navigation applications you have had experiences with.
Thank you,

Never tried NavFree, but you could take a look at this, too:

It has a pretty good rating
I have tried NavFree for many months now, and I find it to be very good
I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a offline GPS Navigation system.
Thanks, I'm on holiday now in the USA and this is going to very very handy, thought Google navigation would work with the maps cached but unfortunately not, still need a data connection for that.
Going to test Navfree today, hopefully won't get lost anymore!

Sorry if the question has already been asked and or answered but I have been looking and maybe I just don't know what to search for.
I have Verizons Samsung S3
SCH-I535
Android: 4.1.2
I am looking for an app (paid or free) I can install on my device that has the ability to track via gps, and either turn on or off the microphone with the ability to take pictures via camera OR use the video camera (with sound of course)
Thank You for any responses
Try any one of the popular security apps currently out...such as... Lookout, Avast, Norton, NQ, AVG, not sure but MAYBE McAfee, Avira, Webroot, B-Secure Tracker, QuickHeal Mobile Security, Vipre, TrackMyDroid, GPS Tracking Pro, GRIP Security, CMC, Symantec, 12Track.....

I went with mspy.com pro plan. will let you know how it works
iKeyMonitor is worth trying
iKeyMonitor is a great invisible spy app for Android. It offers free version for testing. I suggest you have a try!:victory:

Anybody know if this app will run with the gear without being bluetooth connected?

It will not. It will say Failed to connect to service. I had hoped to use Endomondo as a standalone fitness tracker without my phone but that is not possible. S Health is the only app I've found that can work without a phone.
Endomondo (and S Health of course) can read the heart rate from the Gear S while Runtastic and Strava cannot. Hopefully an update will bring full standalone functionality.

It blows my mind all the data that the s health app will show you on the watch, but not in the app on the phone.
Also wish s health would give audible notifications at every mile like endomondo does.
+1 On Endomondo bringing full standalone functionality. To me the potential of this watch is its capabilities to be able to do more standalone tasks. The watch just came out so support for it may take a little time. The watch certainly has the capabilities to accomplish more than what it does out of the box, but we need developers support in order to take it to the next level. Hopefully more developers get on board.

^^ this. I would imagine the development team didn't design it for use as a stand alone app as prior to the GS, there was no standalone capability. I bet they are working on it now.

But, how can I understand this
This app could only be linked to one Android app, which means that our PRO users must use our Free app when using Gear S! But fear not – when you download the Free version and log in with the account associated with your PRO app, all your PRO features will be automatically unlocked.
?
The pro features work on the free app if you use the same account that is associated with your pro account.
So, I understand that it will not work with stand alone. I have a sim card in my watch, shouldn't the phone be able to connect to the watch, even when it is not within bluetooth range by using cellular data? I get the sam error, can't connect to service.
Endmondo will not work unless Bluetooth connected to the phone unfortunately.
Hi,
i would like to know if there are any GPS Tracking Apps for Androidthat can remotely enable GPS if it is off. I would like to keep GPS off from our phones, unless needed. All the apps i have seen seem to require the GPS to be enabled before hand for tracking. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, if something like this doesn't exist, are there any apps that have pretty good privacy, such as it doesn't sell or share Personally identifiable information... maybe strips that?
Thanks!
No you will not find anything like that outside of government tools.
Best option is Google I think. I disable my GPS completely so can't be sure.
Hello,
I have BIP and I'm happy with it functionality in general.
The problem is that it has not compatibility with the most popular fitness apps. I'm premium user of Endomondo, but i checked also Stavra, Runtastic....
Do you know some app with can work with the smart watch? Or some easy way to get more of it with endomondo?
Thank you in advance.
