Share My Creation Inform My Location

Hello,
I would like to invite fellow B4A developers to try out the new version of my app:
"Inform My Location".

Useful for: trekkers, campers and travellers who are in an area where they do not have internet connection (and therefore no Google maps), and wish to know their location.

Brief description of working:
Trekkers can send their coordinates to any of their friends using SMS (basic conectivity) and the friend will be able to retrieve their location address (provided they are under internet coverage).

Change over past version: ability for SMS receiver to retrieve location address
Future enhancement planned: add ability to plot coordinates on a map.

Feedback and comments are welcome.

Thank you,
Siddharth

Thanks Siddsg, this is a great app and most needed by everyone.
unfortunately I couldn't install it.. the page said congratulations it is installed but
nothing in fact.

Finally installed.. will run it in open space as it is not working indoors.
google maps is working though

It's running as described, but can't read gps information (indoor or outdoor).

Hi Beja,
I've found sometimes it takes time to pick up the GPS coordinates. When I go to google maps, it says 'your current location is temporarily unavailable'.
Works after some time.

Hi Siddsg,

Yes you are right.. it took so long time and I thought it will never come up..
Now working fine but didn't test in two phones but sent the sms msg to my own phone.
Thanks
