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
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

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.
