Today’s application is a very simple and useful tool to share your coordinates :

OHM Review
Here I am iconVery simple and useful tool that got already 122 ratings with a score of 4.19/5. The application size very small compared to what it does.  My wife called asking where I am exactly and “Here I am” answered the question for me. Simply open the application, hold on until it retrieve your GPS location, then send it by email or sms. The message by default include only your coordinates in addition to a link to Google Maps; which compatible with iPhone or Android.

The application have more features than announced, because it can also display your latest known position and the accuracy in time for example mine was registered 7 hours ago – in normal condition this shows a distance. You can also copy the location to be used  anywhere else.

Finally, you can choose if the application might resolve the address and send it with the message or send only coordinates. An  address will better help to find your location especially if you are sending an sms.
