Losing your Android smartphone is bad enough, but having it stolen is even worse. With the wealth of information that can be stored on Android devices, losing them is giving a thief the keys to your email and other personal information.

Skyhook Wireless announced this week that its recovery software has been added to the Where is My Android app. The software allows the user to find the real-time location of their lost or stolen Android application form the company’s website.

The new version of the software also allows users to take pictures of the surroundings where the Android device is located. The GPS positioning system allows users to track their device indoors or out within 10 to 20 meters of its location.
