I have a galaxy nexus purchased directly from google. i was trying this to see if it would work and it does nothing. i was using my google voice number (different from my phone number) to send SMS texts per the instructions, but nothing happened. i will try using someones phone in a bit and will update my review if anything changes for the better. additionally, to be clear, i have tried to use the app with both "GPS satellites" option enabled on my phone, as well as disabled. it seems to do nothing at all.
