Looks cool, unfortunately I've no iOS device to test it on.

How does it work? I'm guessing the recipient has to open a link?

Yes that's it: we add a unique link to the text message, the recipient then visits the page and share his location, and we then notify the sender.

Cool! I love tools like google latitude but unfortunately my friends aren't all geeks who know how to use it. This solves that problem completely, well done!

Hope you release an Android version at some point!

edit: just realised there was a slideshow explaining that on the site, in my defence it's 2am and I'm a little sleepy!

There are plans for an Android version in the future, although there are still a few features I want to add to the iOS version before that.
