Location-Sharing Apps

Glympse Tells Friends and Family Where Users are in Real Time

Glympse is a location-sharing app that allows travelers to show friends and family where they are in real time. Flexible, safe and simple, it can be accessed and used on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. Especially great for road trips, it allows everyone to enjoy the journey in a very thorough way. Of course, the location-sharing app is also practical for everyday use as well.

Easier and faster than sending a text or making a quick call, the location-sharing app informs people immediately about where a loved one is when they need or want to know. It also makes people feel much more connected. Like a real life version of Harry Potter's Marauder's Map, the location-sharing app provides a digital link that, thankfully, others will be aware of.
