Ignoring all the big brother security fears for now this does seem like a pretty cool application. Josep just let me know about this application that lets you share your GPS location with friends. You can then meet friends that are near you or let trusted people know where you are.

Now I know Ronen didn’t give this application the best ‘rap’ when it first came to light but I have had it installed for quite a few months now and I would have to say, ‘This is one of the most comprehensive ‘Free’ applications I have used to date…’
