We’ve all been there: you’re coming to meet a friend at this great new pub they’ve found, but you’ve no idea where it is. Them saying “turn left, then right, then over the bridge…” is all well and good, but surely there’s a better way? On iOS, users can share their exact location on the Maps app, but only through costly MMS or through email, which the recipient may not check. Thankfully, a new app looks to change that…
The recipient will receive the text with a link built in, and be able to direct themsevles to you from there. The best bit is that you can send a ‘Flare’ to any kind of smartphone; as long as it has a web connection the phone should be able to open the link. Is this a potential lifesaver?
