Usage Scenario's

There are many situations that might occur where your current location is a very important piece of information for you and the person trying to reach you.

Situations could vary -

You might get lost in a new city and the friend you are trying to visit might need to come get you from where you are.

You are attending an ad hoc meeting and want to let your friends and family know where you are.

You are stuck in traffic and are late for a party? Just SOS your location

There might be medical situations where you have high fever, an asthma attack or severe chest pain and you feel immobilized – you just need someone to come get you immediately and provide or arrange for assistance.

While your current location is the first most important piece of information in an emergency, the second most important factor is time.

How soon can someone come assist you?

The sooner the person trying to assist you can get all the information about you, faster he or she will be able to assist or arrange for assistance. If multiple contacts can get this information in the shortest time then you multiply your chances of being assisted on time.

Its a simple app that will simply send your location instantly to anyone.
