AT&T today announced the launch of its FamilyMap app on the iTunes App Store. The app is designed to give families a more seamless experience when locating and connecting with each other on the go using iPhone. The app achieves this by finding wireless devices within a shared family account, and gives iPhone users access to FamilyMap features that were previously only available via a computer. These features include an interactive map with surrounding landmarks such as schools and parks, which can be toggled between satellite and interactive street maps, and a personalize mode where users can assign a name and photo to each device within an account and label frequently visited locations.

Other handy features included in the app are schedule checks where you can make sure a family member is sticking to their schedule, and the ability to locate a family member on demand by logging into the service from your iPhone.

The AT&T FamilyMap can be downloaded for free from the iTunes App Store. Users can then locate up to two phones on an account for a monthly subscription of $9.99, or up to five phones for $14.99 per month.
