Hi Colin,
You are quite right. There are two things here to consider.
1) SMS text is sent to your phone, ergo
2) Why could the SMS message not be displayed in addition
to the map.
Seems to me that someone needs to approach these guys in the
nicest way possible, and explain how valuable their facility
could be to many more people if they were able to make what
in essence appears to be a very small change.
In short, it could attract more customers. -- which in turn,
hits them in their pockets.
George.

Hello George,
That's a fascinating article. Yet again; though, it would
appear that the accessibility for visually impaired
customers has been forgotten. The location details are sent
to your PC in the form of a map? or an SMS to your mobile
phone?
Isn't it a great shame that apparently; possibly because of
an oversight we're denied the independent service of this
people finder? Obviously if you're lucky to have mobile
accessibility then the problem doesn't arise, but what would
be the difficulty in adding the SMS text to the location map
sent to your PC?

Don't be put off by the Subject line. The bi-line
was "Locate someone with their mobile phone".
And especially after recent very sad events in
Cambridge, it caught my attention.
The latest "Windows XP: The official Magazine" (Page
48) carries an article about software which allows you to
find the approximate location of a mobile phone. The cover
disk carries a demo version of the software. More details
at www.findyourchild.net
However, I was especially interested in seeing the
comment, "You don't have to use a computer to locate a phone
- you can do it from your mobile."
With an accuracy of up to 150 Metres, it's not a GPS
substitute. However, I thought it worth a mention here
anyway, especially since there's an option to use it with
your own mobile phone, as well as a PC.
George Bell.
