You need to sign up for Apple's Mobile Me service to take advantage of this cool feature. Go to Settings then click on Mail, Contacts, Calendars click on Fetch New Data and switch on Push.

Now when you log in to Mobile Me and click on Settings then select Find My iPhone you will be able to view a map showing the current location of your iPhone.

Not only can you check the location of your precious handset, you can also send a message and a two-minute alert tone to the iPhone - even if it is set to silent.

As a last resort you can also erase all the data on the phone by using the Remote Wipe option.
