When you start the app, you get a list of the iDevices that are logged into the Apple ID. A map will display the locations of all these devices. You can select each one and, after communicating with the device to get an accurate position, its location will plot on a new map. If you have selected the option when you activated the app under Settings (see my earlier post), the last known location will plot for devices that are off, in airplane mode, or otherwise not reachable.

Careful (said tongue in cheek), don't tell her you called her wide! Yes, you can use Find my iPhone on both phones to see where each other's phone is located. Just sign in to Find my iPhone on both and yes, when you tap on either phone, you can see the phone's location change on a map.
