G+_Brad Veenvliet Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 In AAA show 130 there was an email question where someone wanted an app to share their location easily. I also had this need on my commute and decided to learn android programming and made my own app. Check it out and please give me advice! Thanks AAA crowd... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.veenvliet.seeyousoon " Email @ 53:30 I was wondering what was the best way to send your location to a boss or a co-worker? This would have come in handy when my commuter train had to detour to stop I don’t normally use and I wanted to call to have a work shuttle pick me up. I didn't know the physical address of the train station. Thanks, and keep up the great shows, OC Alexander" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Julie Wills Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Brad Veenvliet Jason Howell Gina Trapani I've been using Glympse, Inc. for exactly this kind of application for years. You don't need to set up anything in advance - you can send a Glympse to anybody as long as you know their email address or phone number (for SMS). My review (from June 2011) is here: http://blog.juwlz.co.uk/2011/06/glympse-for-android-and-other-platforms.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brad Veenvliet Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yes, I think that's the program that Gina recommended in the original show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Ward Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You can also send your location using the new Hangouts app. If you use Hangouts to send your location to an SMS recipient then it creates an image of your location (along with a Google Maps hyperlink) sent via MMS.
