I’m a huge fan of Glympse. It’s simply the best real-time location sharing app available. I use it all the time when traveling to visit family or when I’m running around in a million directions and need to let my wife know where I am. This amazing app just got a whole lot better with a brand new update that brings some really nice enhancements.
Glympse Groups is perfect for meetings, sporting events, or get togethers. It lets you create a pre-defined group that allows several people to share their real-time locations with each other for a set amount of time. Group names can be any name you want as long as it begins with “!”. So if you’re meeting some friends at the ball game, you can create a group called !FenwaySox. All users have to do is send a Glympse to that group name, and everyone will be able to see each other’s location in real-time. Users can turn off their location sharing whenever they wish.
With Calendar Integration, Glympse can automatically schedule location updates to everyone associated with a specified calendar event. This works with Outlook, Google, and iPhone calendars. Now when there is a meeting scheduled, there’s no need to send an email or text letting everyone know you’re running late. Everyone will be able to see your exact location with a tap of their finger.
Last but not least is “Where Are You” or Request a Glympse, which allows your friends to send you a text or email requesting your location. All you have to do is accept it, and your location will be shared in real-time for a given period. You can also send requests to people who don’t have Glympse installed on their phone because they will be given an opportunity to download it.
The update is available now and all of these features work whether you’re using Android or iOS. Just hit one of the download links below to grab the update or to install it.
