GPS Text - Send YOURSELF as a text message! 1.2.0

“GPS Text” introduces an exciting new dimension to text messaging: messages that contain the exact geographic location they were sent from! Using “GPS Text”, a single button touch enables you to send a location-aware message ready to a friend, business associate, emergency service, or family who will be able to immediately locate and/or navigate to your exact location via Google Maps from their mobile device (provided their mobile device supports text messaging and web browsing).

How would you use “GPS Text”? Here are some examples:

* You are driving across several states, and you need to send a quick text message to your friends or family to let them know where you are: “GPS Text” does it. A few button touches and they will have a text message with your current location viewable on a map.

* Perhaps you run out of gas, get a flat tire, or you miss a bus, and need to communicate your location to friends, family, or an emergency service. “GPS Text” to the rescue!

* You’ve found a great fishing hole, and need to summon the gang or tell them where this magical spot is at. Using “GPS Text”, you can tell them all the catch is on, and they’ll know exactly where on the river or lake you are.

* You are at a kickin party and need your friends to make for the hot spot. “GPS Text” puts your location in your friends’ hands so they can find you. Or, should you need a ride home and need to let someone know where you are at, “GPS Text” has got you covered.

* You are meeting friends at a new restaurant in a difficult-to-navigate part of town. You arrive first, and using “GPS Text” can guide your friends directly in to a great meal and great company!

Forget the red tape of typical social networking applications which require you and everyone you need to communicate with to create accounts, login, blah blah blah. Sometimes “more” is just “more”. This is text messaging. Simple, ubiquitous, and more common than popcorn at a movie theater.

HOW IT WORKS: “GPS Text” is very easy to use. When the application starts, there is one button displayed. Touch it, and “GPS Text” determines your current location, and opens the built-in Text application with your location information containing a map URL copied to the pasteboard, ready to be pasted into your text message. Just create your text message, add your recipient, paste your location information, and send! The receiver of your text message can with one touch (on an iPhone) display a map showing the exact location where your text message was sent from. And best of all, “GPS Text” is now fully iPhone OS 3.0 compliant, and uses the built-in Text application: no more sending text messages via email!

The only question left is, why isn’t “GPS Text” on your iPhone?

NOTE: “GPS Text” is targeted for iPhone devices running iPhone OS 3.0 and newer only. “GPS Text” does not run on iPod Touch devices.
