theres an app or 10,000,000 for that, but  no not without the mobile company's help which only the feds can get access to with a court order. Get her to download Google Maps (iassume it's available on the Apps store?) or one of the satnav apps that can be had for £5-£10

Theres a free sat nav app that's excellent - Free Nav UK or something.

Does the phone have Ios5? If so get her to enable "Find My iPhone" in settings and get her to send you her iTunes account details.

Even the iphone 3g has a built in GPS.
It comes with a map app as standard that can't be deleted.
It will work unless there is absolutely no signal.

Why doesn't she just look on Google maps and TELL you where she is?

Is the truth that you want to track her for other reasons?
