Very nice! Just about the only one of the GPS-to-SMS apps on Play Store that is able to include a time stamp in the SMS text. This is quite important as delayed delivery due to limited network connectivity otherwise can give the receiving person a false view of the position at a certain time (you can't rely on the time of SMS delivery to convey this information). Also, it can retry SMSs that failed being sent (I actually thought this was a property of the SMS app). To do this I had to tick "Send Repeated" and not use the "Recover SMS" functionality - not very logical to me, but it seems to work :-)
