Or is it: CercareOne (Italian cercare, “to search”)?

included so-called “A-GPS data,” which can identify targets to a much finer detree

They de-tree the targets more finely? Than what? Why are they hiding in trees?

That might just be observation bias.

It’s quite possible that the phone carriers -> Locaid -> CerCareOne -> bounty hunters -> motherboard chain is just one of the location data channels out there. Verizon wasn’t talking to Locaid, but are they talking to anyone else?
