I misplaced my cell phone. There are a couple of services that will tick
on your phone and five you the GPS coordinates.

 
You don't need a service on your Android phone (Samsung Galaxy A51). 
<https://www.google.com/android/find/?login>
<https://www.google.com/android/find/about>
<https://myaccount.google.com/find-your-phone>
 
Samsung also has a similar service:
"How to use Samsung Find My Mobile"
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFv1qwE2OmY>
<https://findmymobile.samsung.com>
This will also work to get your phone's last known position if your
phone is offline.  However, you have to activate this feature.  See
above video for details.
 

After trying to use this service from my desktop I find that what
happens is that they send site to your cell phone which you pull put
your lost cell phone and play this app in order to find your phone.
 
In case you think that is nonsense,

 
Yes, I think it's nonsense.  I also discount the credibility of anyone
who tries to reinforce their bad information by claiming "it's the
honest truth" or something similar.
 

I actually chatted with the site and THAT is what they told me.

 
I hope you didn't give your Google login and password to them.
 

And when I finally found my phone and looked in the txt's sure enough
that was in the txt messages.There were two of the sites that did the
same thing and both of then simmply wouldn,t just interface with Maqps
on your desktop. You had to have your phone to find your phone.

 
Wrong (as usual).  I'm currently looking at a Google map showing my
phone location on my desktop computer.  No need to use a 2nd
smartphone to find your lost phone.  Some videos on how it's done:

More than you probably wanted to know:

Apple have a find my device app/website and devices can notify if you leave
them behind. Does show broadly where they are, my desktop and iPhone and
iPad can if one wanted to make it beeb and so on.

As I have zero memory it’s right off the bell curve and below 1% ie 99% of
population have better memory that I do!

Things have to be in set places or I’ll get very confused aka one needs to
be organised and not rely on one’s memory as that doesn’t work but a system
will.
