I realize many people (maybe most) would not know what it was but as more people use programs like this there needs to be a way to make sure someone does not just "uninstall it". Also if someone stole your phone and lived in a subdivision you might get the general area where they were..but not the exact house. But I do like the concept...

Pixelpop, pixelpoop....call me anything but late for dinner.
Changing the name to the name of some other real app that you do not actually have installed (just go to pocketgear.com and choose one from a thousand) would work. A thief or childnapper would have to uninstall every app on the phone to make sure he got the right one, assuming he even suspected a tracker was installed. As to the accuracy, Google Maps always accurately puts my location within the stated 10 meters (30 feet) which is close enough to pinpoint a house in a subdivision or to call the phone and hear it ring if I just misplaced it.
