It seems to me he just wanted to keep tabs on where he went, so he could tell the cops where to find him, and let them find out what his deal was.

My theory was right in the second paragraph.

You don't know what the difference between following and chasing is?! God help me why have I wasted so much time talking to you.
When someone is chasing the other person generally knows..
you can follow in secret and keep a distance.
Follow/following:
1. To come or go after; proceed behind: Follow the usher to your seat.
2.
a. To go after in or as if in pursuit: "The wrong she had done followed her and haunted her dream" (Katherine Anne Porter).
b. To keep under surveillance: followed the suspect around town.
Chasing:
1. To follow rapidly in order to catch or overtake; pursue: chased the thief.
2. To follow (game) in order to capture or kill; hunt: chase foxes.
3. To seek the favor or company of persistently: chased me until I agreed to a date.
4. To put to flight; drive: chased the dog away.
You chase with an intent to catch, you follow with an intent to survey.

How are the police going to be able to question the suspicious individual if they don't know where he is? That is why I think he followed, and told the dispatch to have the unit call and he will let them know where he is.
Hindsight is 20/20, I am sure he didn't think anything crazy was going to happen. He thought he would just tail the guy, the cops would find out what his deal was, situation dealt with. Again, my theory is no better than yours, and vice versa. We are both speculating what is going on in two people's heads, what happened in the blank spot. Chances are we are both wrong, who knows.

I have no need to follow instructions in 99% of my life. I am my own boss, and I prefer it that way. If it had happened in my community, there would be no calling the police. I would walk right up to him and say something like "Hey you look lost, need help finding someone's house?" Depending on how he answered that question, I would react accordingly.
Police are more of a hindrance and an annoyance in my community, we would rather not have them there unless it was absolutely necessary. They are out of control and more likely to taze some innocent bystander, as they are to actually do some good. We live on a dead end dirt road, so we are pretty lucky. Not many people outside the community even know we exist, I like it that way. Quiet, crime free, a place where we can still have block parties, and trust the neighbors. I will take the burbs like this anyday over a more urban place. Not too far away from the city to go catch a show or game or whatever. But far enough crime doesn't creep in. That's a happy medium I will keep.
Do not take any risks to prevent a crime or try to make an arrest. The responsibility for apprehending criminals belongs to the police department.
Sanford, Florida (CNN) -- The man at the center of a firestorm over his shooting of an unarmed Florida teenager has launched a website, warning supporters about groups that falsely claim to be raising funds for his defense and soliciting donations for himself.
"I am the real George Zimmerman," declares the website, set up over the weekend.
"On Sunday February 26th, I was involved in a life altering event which led me to become the subject of intense media coverage. As a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage, I have been forced to leave my home, my school, my employer, my family and ultimately, my entire life. This website's sole purpose is to ensure my supporters they are receiving my full attention without any intermediaries."
Zimmerman's "life altering event" was the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, an act that the neighborhood watch volunteer told Sanford, Florida, police was an act of self-defense. Zimmerman has not been charged with a crime in Martin's death, a fact that has provoked demonstrations and calls that he be prosecuted for killing the teen.

See you are just saying that in hopes that it some how throws a wrench into the theory.
I based that theory off of that map and the presumed path of the kid and the path of Zimmerman. The map is what seals the deal.
The kid cuts up and starts to go down between the houses (when Zimmerman loses him) but stops and hides in the middle. Zimmerman follows up further on the front side (as opposed to going between) then turns into the middle area where he gives up looking and starts to head back the direction of his truck. He doesn't go the same path, but he goes the same direction hoping he may see the kid on the way back, little does he know the kid is between the buildings he is walking between hiding in the dark.
It makes absolute perfect sense with the map.

He never became a hero. He just get's strong support because people like you have damned him unfairly.
You have single handedly funded both sides of the tension.
You guys have created 100 percent of this problem and are the only ones that ever thought this was a race issue.
You are miles away from knowing anything yet you have tried to throw everything you can at this
You have blamed everything, but the action of the kid.
You say "don't blame the victim" I'll stop when I know the victim wasn't an aggressor prior to being a body. What it comes down to in reality is your are likely anti-gun and this is perfect for the agenda.

This whole things is a long drawn out media driven "psyop."
When you learn how involved the big wigs are with their media stations and that everyone gets memo's concerning what to cover, what not to cover, what to stress, and how to spin it, you realize that every bit of it is intentional. It sure has pulled the lime light away from the crooked elections going on. Even though there have been several different tapes of people discussing taking the election from Ron Paul, they have never covered it. Who knows what corrupt stuff has happened while no one was looking. Also Israel has been moving in on Iran via Azerbaijan. This whole thing was also very obviously manipulated to increase racial tensions between whites and blacks (despite the hispanic and black men it involved) in an election where it will essentially be an older white conservative v.s. a younger black liberal (though he is really right leaning).
Ha ha now that I think about it, this whole thing has been turned into a parallel for the campaign almost. Mainstream republicans siding with Zimmerman because race, mainstream dems siding with Martin because they enslaved to being p.c. and think they are being helpful when it is making huge problems, and Libertarians having to side with conservatives because it is the right thing to do even though it makes them look bad.

Are you trying to say that because he used his own method, that somehow discredits it? He's a court-qualified forensic voice analysis expert. What other method should he be using?
I dunno maybe sampling
the voices of both people
involved would be a start.
