Family Monitor works with the Google Maps shared locations function. Family Monitor allows for alerts to be set that are triggered when a family member becomes closer to or further from a location or another family member. For example, an alert can be created that is triggered if your child moves further than 100 metres from your location. Family Monitor only needs to be installed on the device of the person doing the monitoring. For example, Family Monitor would need to be installed on the parent's device but not on their children's. However, those being monitored must proactively accept their location being monitored by allowing location sharing through their Google Maps account and, in addition, they will be regularly reminded by Google that their location is being shared.

This is the lite version of the app - only two alerts can be defined.
