Can you explain this Android Device manager message?

I blanked out the street name.

(Mom's house) El Cajon, CA 92021, USA - Accurate to 19 meters

Today is June 14, so does this mean the device was located today, or when it was last online?

I went to a restaurant, before I went to this location which is my Mom's house. So if this is saying that the device was located at my Mom's house ANY time on June 13, then the device must be either at my Mom's house or some place I have been after that time (not the restuarant that I went to yesterday.) But does this mean that the phone was actually located at this location at the time that I pinged it?

BTW - I tried this again, and it said device not found, last online June 13. This is important, because it probably means the phone is misplaced, not lost or stolen. Big difference.

    Why did Google start showing an alert "Your device was located with Android Device Manager" every time you use the locate feature? All this does is tell the theives that they need to turn off the phone, or uninstall device manager, or whatever it takes to stop from being tracked!! It was much more useful for finding stolen phones before Google started TELLING the theives that they had been located, because the theives didn t know to turn the phones off, remove the batteries,etc. They didn t know anyone was tracking them! Very harmful move to your loyal customers who just want THEIR devices to be recovered!!
