I asked about it for wm, and was told IT'S COMING!!
WHAT AM I SO EXCITED ABOUT????
Quote:
Adds a Locate-by-SMS feature. When this setting is enabled and a keyword is set, when an SMS is received that begins with the keyword a locate will be performed automatically and an SMS reply will be sent containing the location. If in USA and a street address has been identified then the SMS reply will contain that, otherwise it will contain a link to a point on a google map. The locate is attempted three times before a SMS reply with a failed message is sent.
Put simply, tell your friends the keyword and they can locate you whenever they like, or you can locate your own phone if you misplace it.

Now that we all have built in GPS, I would like to introduce you to what I use to start my GPS. I open Navizon, turn on my wifi, and pause till it is open. Then I open my mapping ap (I like Live Search).
Navizon gets started quickly with the cell tower and wifi access point triangulation, and then gets the gps chip going quickly; so live search is ready to go by the time I get in a destination.

Navizon is a wireless positioning system that works a little bit like a GPS, except it uses Cellular Towers and Wifi access points instead of satellites. In addition to being a wireless position system, Navizon offers features like the Directions, Buddy finder, Geotags and more...
This software relies on a community of users who contribute data to the system (WiFi and Cellular towers) when they have a GPS device. And the cool thing is that we can earn money doing it with the Navizon reward system:

I'm already using it and you could make money too with it if you're interested. All you need is to install it on your phone and have Navizon connected to your GPS. Every Wifi access points that you pass, every cell tower that you log will mean money in your pocket.
So now that you have a phone that is compatible with Navizon, you should really check it out.
If you plan on registering, please do so by clicking on the link below:

That way, I can also earn some referral points if I'm the one who introduced you to the system
If you like the wifi positioning by itself - you can cash in your first $20 payout for the full version, after that it gets popped into your paypal account, and if you turn your friends onto it you can get a little extra too!
In fact, hey birthday boy, Mike (wideawake), why not put a link to this in the help ppcgeeks thread, I bet it would generate a bit of "mad money"!
