Description
The only iPhone application that shows you your live location on a map, lets you move the pin to adjust it and then send it to friends in a fully customisable email.
- iPhone's location services locate you and display your position with a pin on a map
- The application tells you how accurate the location fix is so you can adjust the location by moving the pin for those times iPhone doesn't quite get it right
- If your iPhone receives a better fix on your location the application will let you know and you can choose to use the new location which will move the pin and update the map if necessary
- Tap the pin to email the location to as many people as you want
- Your friends receive an email with a Google Maps link that will open on their computer or in the Maps application on iPhone
- On iPhone they can then get directions from their current location straight to you!
If the location Over Here shows initially isn't quite right you can now wait a few seconds as iPhone gets a better location via GPS and Over Here will update - just like the Maps application does.
What's New In Version 1.2.2
Subtle user interface enhancements and added the new icon to the application
Customer Reviews
Great potential, but major flaws
I really want to love this app, but it has a number of major flaws that make it fall short. While I love the fact that you can move the pin, and the app even offsets the pin from your finger, it's not enough. So, since you can't see exactly where you're pointing it, you end up a little off every time you try. Also, the GPS is not accurate enough; it doesn't appear to try very hard to complete the targeting process, coming to a conclusion before the iPhone has a chance to narrow down the accuracy. As a result, it usually puts you somewhere odd, like in the middle of a highway. Normally that would be quite fixable because you can move the pin, but that brings me back to the first point, that doing so is usually frustrating because the point of the pin is right under your finger. Also, the map can't be scrolled or adjusted in any way. Several times, I've found my actual location just outside of the map area included, so there is no way to move the pin to where I really am, even if I could. So here you are, needing to show your friends your location, and it's not on the map! The last major flaw is that you can't add anything to your pin info. I normally need to add something to give it context, like "Second floor cafe" or whatever. That's not possible with this app. If those issues could be fixed, this would be a killer app.
Best app must have
I have tried all the other apps and believe me this is the best. you can move the pin to the exact location where non of the other apps give this option making them innacurate every time give it a chance you won't be dissapointed
Good that you can adjust your position!
I have tried "Here I am" and this one is better because you can adjust your position on the map and compensate for any inaccuracies e.g. because the iPhone can not get a GPS fix.
Other applications do not tell you where they have located you before you send mail or they do not tell you in a meaningful way (on a map).
Four stars because I can not move the map itself if the iPhone places me way off.
