GPS Text

       iOS iPhone

“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 few simple taps results in a location-aware text message ready to send to a friend, business associate, emergency service, or family member 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”? ***

* 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 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 complexity of navigation applications which bury you in controls and statistics. Sometimes more is just “more”. You don’t want a confusing app that looks like the inside of the cockpit of the space shuttle, which requires a P.H.D. to figure out how to use. You want an app which is clean, simple, and a pleasure to use: “GPS Text” is the definition of a “cool” app.

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.
