All the Android Smartphones come with Google play installed in it.When you use Google Play for first time on any device (Smartphone/tablet),Google installs Android device Manager unknowingly.

Tap on it and Activate it.

Now once you have activated it ,now grab you net enabled PC/laptop.

go to Google's play store . link to it https://play.google.com/store

Log in in using the same Google id as of Play Store in Device.
You will see a Gear icon On the top Right Corner.
Click on it and you will see Android Device Manager.
Once it is opened in your web browser ,it will automatically contact your device.The map of your country will be displayed on your web browser.
Once Android Device Manager has located your smartphone you will see its location on Google maps and the distance it is away from you.
