Help Google Location History Question

[gardeniagirl08]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 that I want to keep track of its location just in case it ever gets lost again.

I am trying to figure out exactly how Google Location History works? How often does it track your location? I just enabled it through my google account on my computer and I double checked on my phone and it has a check mark next to it. However, it's been an hour and there hasn't been any reports located when I check the history.

Personally I use the app Lookout which mails you a map and if possible a picture from the front camera when your phone dies, is turned off, put in airplane mode or sim changed
