---

Simply and useful...
LocateSMS permitt to include your GPS-coordinates into a SMS !!


...Your friend, simply receive a SMS from you, put the coordinates into his Navigator-software, and navigate to where you are!




All-Language version (WWE - ITA - FRA - ESP - GER - RUS - CH - GRE)






Note:
- Tap&Hold on "To:< >" to open the Contact's list
- Tap&Hold on the bubble near the GPS-coordinates to open the text-templates list
- Some texts are included, however you can write what you want!


Requirement:
- A PocketPC and a GPS-antenna (wired, bluetooth, integrated, etc...)

An example about how navigate to some coordinates using TomTom:

Go to "Navigate" -> "Navigate to latitude and longitude" and insert the coordinates in this way:

12:34'56.78" become 12.34567°

(extracted from an Eten X500's ROM, tested on a HTC Trinity)

It's a wonderful app! Expecially for me since my device has a build-in GPS antenna.

Complimenti,

Marshall

Marshall, Mio A701 already has that app, called Mio Location Call.

LOL

Anyway great app AX3L, very usefull!!

Any way to configure the sending format of the coordinates?
Like for example get the GPS data, convert to UTM and then send?

Great app all the same, keep up the good work!

the format is a standard....TomTom, for example accept only this format!

Anyway, an example using TomTom:

Simply insert 13:20'31.40 as "13.20314"

I don't think you can convert from Degrees:Minutes'Seconds (DMS) to Decimal Degrees (DD) quite so easily. DD=D+(M/60)+(S/3600)

13 degrees 20 minutes 31.4 seconds converts to 13.34206 decimal degrees. There are online converters as well: http://www.cosports.com/tools/gps_coords.htm

I have used this method as well!

Interesting app.

Unfortunately it never launches on my Treo 700wx (WM5).
