There is currently no "anonymous" tracking of other people via the Instinct available.Sprint has locked developers out of the GPS functionality.There are some that have claimed to be able to get other GPS apps working,but I believe all of them require the "policy mod/hack" or at least have your phone activated to "developer" mode.

With your phone activated to developer mode, I have successfully used gmap to track routes, current location etc, the problem is not just with the limitations of the cell but the gps program will not run in the backround which means the application needs to be running all the time order to track to work etc.
I thought the family locate services were supposed to work well, no program running in the background etc, also I think Sprint will give you a month to try it out first..
