Glympse offers fine-tuned control over mobile location sharing


Sharing your location via a mobile device is a great way to let friends and family know where you are, and encourage people you know to meet up with you. The challenge is in making it as easy as possible for the right people to see your location while hiding it from random Internet strangers. Glympse is a clever new approach to the problem, allowing location-sharing on a time limited person-by-person basis.

Using Glympse is as simple as picking a contact and a duration. Your contact will be able to see your location from their mobile device or computer for that duration of time. It’s the simplest solution imaginable to a pretty complex problem. Right now, Glympse is only available for Android devices, but it’s coming soon to Windows Mobile phones, iPhones and Blackberries.
