Description of LocSMS - Text GPS Coordinates!

Ever bad this back and forth conversation?
Friend: "Hey where are you?"
You: "I'm in the park, uh, near that one tree"
Friend: "Wait, the tree where we finally found your shoes?"
You: "No not that tree, the one where" (blah blah blah)
Well NO MORE! LocSMS lets you send your current GPS coordinates via SMS to any number. The recipient will be able to open the link if they have any smartphone made in the last few years.
You can kind of already do this with the built-in map function but it'll try and give you the closest address which doesn't help if you're in the middle of a park, a large outdoor concert, etc.
Features:
* Google maps embedded so you can actually see what you're sending.
* No ads, no 'lite' version, just a useful app.
* No unnecessary permissions like other similar apps. You maintain control over where/how text messages are sent.

    Easy to us app that does exactly what it promises, at no cost and without annoying ads. I've used it many times to let people know exactly where we were hiking. Kudos to Jon Hathaway, the developer, for creating and maintaining it!

    My family has used this app for several years. It is the fastest way to send your location. You need a phone with a good working GPS to find your location and cell service to send it. Numerous times I've been somewhere waiting for someone who couldn't find us. I open this app, give it a few seconds to find my location, then send it through my text messaging app and they're able to navigate right to where I am. If your GPS is slow, just give it a minute. As soon as you see the red marker and the share button turns green, you're ready to go. Thanks for a great app!

    SO SIMPLE to use. Works great for those who are not so great with tech. Please keep it simple. I LOVE IT! FYI, enter an email address instead of phone number to get it on your computer/email.
