About Where R U? Free
Where R U? is an app that allows friends and family to find out where you are. All they need to do is send you an SMS asking "Where R U?" and your phone will automatically respond with a Google Maps link showing your current location.

How does it work?
When someone sends you a message with the trigger, your phone will attempt to get your current location and simply send it back. Initially the app will try and get your location within a 100m radius, but if it can't get this before the request times out, it will send what it has. If there is no location found after the timeout, the app will reply with your last known location and the time that you were there.
Only want certain people to access your location?? Set up a whitelist that tells the app to only respond to certain contacts, or use a blacklist to block individual contacts.
Features:
* Automatically reply with a Google Maps link of your current location
* See the last 10 locations and who they were sent to

* Stealth SMS. Don't clog up your inbox with app related messages

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks so much for this. Have also left a feature request on XDA.

What an excellent app this is. We live in the country and it has proved very useful on many occasions. I can find out where my husband is while he is on the road. My family has used it to track my journey home to make sure I was safe and I even used it to find out how close my visitors were so I knew when to pop the scones in the oven. It would be awesome if you had teenage kids too. A handy app that is simple to use, everyone should have it.

I used 'Where are U?' while out with a group of friends last weekend. With people arriving at different times throughout the evening and with the venue changing every pint, no time was wasted reporting our migration to those who had not arrived. They'd send a text message to me with a generic 'Where are you?' and the App does the rest. It took away from the hassle of orchestrating the evening and left more time for beers, which is ultimately what life is about.
