Here's how it works:

'First, you have to make sure you're logged in to the same Google account on your PC's browser that you use on your phone. You must also be sure to have the latest version of the Google app installed on your phone.

Now type the phrase "find my phone" into Google's search engine on your PC. In response, Google displays a map that attempts to zero in on the location of your device. Give it at least several seconds, and you should eventually see a location on the map'

Good call.. I had this on before but I didn't transfer to my new ( dreadful) Nokia windows Phone.

It worked for me and don't have the App installed, just needed me to re log into my Google account.

Its handy (I think)

Blackberry have always offered their find/ring/lock/delete all data on their devices and I'm sure the iphone did something similar but this is a handy first from google

Samsung made their own app which did something very similar on my old phone.
