3. •You don’t always know the accuracy of the location you’re
sending (e.g.Twitter, etc)
•Some are not cross-platform
(e.g. FindMyFriends, iOS-only)
•Almost all solutions require login and may force other
features on you that you may not want (e.g.WhatsApp)
•All require mobile internet connection
2013 - Solutions exist, but all with their own issues
•There are battery life and privacy issues for always-on
tracking (e.g. Google+ / Latitude, Find My Friends)

4. •If you have MeetApp, it automatically opens a map with your
friend’s location, distance and direction (digital compass)
The solution: MeetApp
•If you don’t, you will see a mobile web page with a google
map, and links to download the app.
•After install, clicking on the link will open the app
•Allows you to send your location via SMS to anyone in your
phone book
•Developed at OTA13 for Android, iOS coming soon
•No login. No tracking. Can be used without an internet
connection
