Description

SendLocation is small utility for those who need an application that sends your location to your own server and script. It's dead simple: just provide the server and script and this app will do the rest.

SendLocation supports background updating. The application doesn't even need to be open to get location updates. However when SendLocation is closed or in background it detects only "significant" location changes (a new feature in iOS 4). These changes are typically occuring when changing cell in your mobile network.

By creating your own script you can ..
- publish your location in your own webpage
- make your own "locate my iPhone" service
- send email to your friend when you're nearby
.. use this information for any nice idea that pops in to your mind!

The HTTP GET-method is in following format:

http://yourserver.com/yourscript.php?lat=***&lon=***&speed=***&heading=***&vacc=***&hacc=***&altitude=***&deviceid=**&battery=***&ts=***&quick=***&background=***

Where you must provide the "http://yourserver.com/yourscript.php" part to application settings.

Speed is your current speed in meters per second (calculated by GPS points) and heading is the course youre travelling towards (also calculated from GPS).

Notice: when this app is at foreground it can send your location in 5 second intervals. This might stress some servers or cause lots of traffic to your server. Please monitor the usage!

Version 2.8

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Some users are reporting frequent updates even if the switch isn't toggled on. This version should fix this issue. Please contact me if you have any problems through the support web page.

Works as advertised

Sends iOS location data via a http request to a url of your choice. Great way to get location data out of a phone without writing a full app.

Simple and very uncomplicated

For those of us who know how to write server side programs, and have ideas about thing they could do with a constant stream of location data, this app fills in an essential piece of the puzzle.

It would be nice if the app provided some form of feedback or developer contact information, a bit more data in the GET, such as a timestamp, and possibly the ability to store location data when offline to update when next connected (this is where a timestamp would prove exceptionally useful). Currently my server-side script has to add a timestamp to the data to really make it useful.

I am having great fun experimenting with various possibilities and I look forward to this app becoming even more useful in the future.
