GPS Share
Free AppAbout GPS Share
Have you ever been trying to meet friends in a large public space, but been unable to find each other? I created GPS Share for just such a scenario.
GPS Share lets you privately send a Google Maps link, GPS coordinates, and/or your street address of your location to whomever you want, whenever you want, however you want. Send an SMS message to rendezvous with friends at a stadium or email yourself a reminder of where you parked at the airport. Post road trip updates to Twitter.
Unlike Latitude and many other services, GPS Share does not run in the background and does not share your location with a third party. You use it when you want it.
GPS Share is free and Open Source software and has no advertising. Internet access is used only to download Google Maps tiles.

... but it would be even better if the accuracy of the GPS co-ordinates was also shown, and if there was an option to display the co-ordinates in decimal.

For a while now, the location gets acquired but the map itself isn't loaded.

Its a good app to share ur location.IT DONT SHOW ANY CHANGE IN DEGREE MINUTE SECONDS WHEN UNTICKED.it should show in degrees also.. it needs some more refinement. 1 option of adding text message should be given at the bottom , every time adding new text before sending , One has to go to menu , and that is annoying. So adding text along location should be USER FRIENDLY not complicated.

One thing I want in the next version is a widget that I can hit that immediately messages all my ice contacts my location. Would be a really helpful safety device. Just a location and a message like Help I'm in trouble or whatever. Just an idea. Otherwise I love the app

One of the only apps that lets you share your location without data or wi-fi connection! Plus it has pinpoint possibility and shows coordinates when sharing. Very useful if you are traveling and get stuck in snowstorm or smthn. I did not have data connection but still was able to share my location via sms.

Very nice app. But the messages are always sent as mms and not as sms which needs mobile data to be working. Would been more usefull if can send my coordinates without needing the mobile data.!?

I've been running it on my Samsung Note 2 for years without fail. Best of all it even works without a data connection. You may not see the map but it still locates you and sends an SMS of your coords. I've also installed it on both generations of my kids phones...first on Samsung Galaxy 551 (GT-i5510M) now on the Samsung Galaxy Core LTEs...again without data, works perfectly. Only thing I would ask Ken is for one touch send buttons (max 3) or widgets to auto send to predefined receipients. Great work Ken!

One of the most useful apps on my phone. Easy to send your location, or where you're going, to others by sms or email, and they can click a link and "navigate to". Works perfectly S3 and iphone 5. Thanks developers!!

The only thing it seams to take forever to get is my location. It is along with Google Earth the perfect instrument to share your location if you already know were you are.

I love being able to share the exact location from my phone. My apartment is hard to find so I send exact coordinates so people can find me. Wish I could choose to send coordinate in decimal instead of minutes and seconds but that is a small thing.

This is a feature you would expect to be built in. Perhaps google should hire this guy and pay him a lot of money to make this built in. Perfect app.
