About Text Phone Location
Everyone who owns an android has the ability to quickly send a text message of their location to family and/or friend's. By using Google Maps Geocoder, "Text Phone Location" does exactly that.
You simply enable GPS to get your coordinates, enter the phone number you wish to send your location, and one of the following options:
Location, Address, or Street View.
Once they receive your message, they simply tap or hold the link and will display your current location on Google Maps or StreetView.
Included on the message is your coordinates which can be entered on any desktop with Internet Access.
The Timer Option is used by continuously sending your current location by a duration (hours) and interval (minutes) of your choosing. After setting the Timer, you can tap the "Home" icon, which will continuously send your location in the background while having full functionality of your phone. It will notify you when each interval is met. This is very useful on long distance trips, hiking, camping, just to name a few.
An additional feature "Show Weather" queries Weather information from Yahoo, then will display the:
Current Temperature (Fahrenheit / Celsius)
Wind speed
Humidity
Four Day Forecast
Hi and Low Temperature
You might not use this app in a regular basis, but should be included in your app inventory just in case.
This is not a phone finder or tracking application. With your consent, it simply sends your current location via SMS Text Messaging.
Both sending and receiving phone requirements:
GPS enabled
SMS text messaging capabilities
Internet Access

Thank you for your reply . I hope you can recognize my dry wit and got a good laugh out of it. I'm always appalled by the amount of negative comments and all around ungratefulness with absolutely no class shown by so many people. So keep up the good work.(If you didn't recognize it my comment was a rip of Mr. Hand in Fast Times at Ridgemont High) * * * original comment [[In your description one of your top reasons why everyone should have this app despite potentially not using frequently is because it is small. Hmph! Small? 10.5 MB. I like that. That's why I'm compelled to right down and post it up for all the world to see. Giving you full credit for having a fabulously bizaarro world imagination. (One thing I'd like to know is what you would consider to be a large sized app. Small to me is 0 to 999kb. 10MB is a solid middle heavyweight in my book.)]]]

Nice and Simple app. The only issue is the coordinates did not display until i moved close to a window of my building or outside. Then coordinates displayed. Nice...

The video clearly demonstrates the the use and operation. The App continues to operate smoothly without interruptionsons or dropouts, when the phone is in use. I certainly will be a frequent user of this App due to my age.
