WhereAreYou
WhereAreYou works like this:
1. You install it on a BlackBerry device, and configure it so that it listens for incoming SMS messages with a specific content, and coming from a specific list of numbers.
2. You give the device to your children, employees, friend etc.
3. When you want to know their position, you send them a SMS message from one of the phone numbers specified in point 1 . You can send the request message from any type of phone.
4. The BlackBerry device configured in point 1 will autoreply with its GPS coordinates. The response message contains the latitude/longitude coordinates, plus a complete link to Google Maps that you type into your web browser to visually locate the device on a map.
5. If the device is without GPS coverage when you send it the request might be inside of a building, for example , it replies to you saying so, and then it silently keeps trying to retrieve the coordinates every few minutes, until it succeeds. You will get its location as soon as possible.
This is useful to make sure that your children are always close to you when they go out at night, or that your employees really go to that place and not somewhere else…or maybe even to find out where you left or lost your own device.
