There has always been a problem with location sharing services, they are closed. You either have to have this app or that account or this platform. They may be excellent at what they do but they are horrible to get everyone in agreement. Glympse aims to solve this problem by not only being on all four major mobile OS but it doesn't have to be installed on the persons phone. You send them a web link anyway you want to. They open it to see a mobile site which is live updating. You first set what to share and how to share your location, broadcast your speed, use metric units, low power, and expire on arrival. Now for every Glympse you share how long 5 minutes to 4 hours, where are you going, and who are you sending it to. During a Glympse you have the ability to extend the time remaining by 15 minutes or expire it instantly. From my experience the web view is accurate to 5 seconds of real time that is how long it takes to see the time of the sharing change.
