DispoMaps

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
DispoMaps enables you to share your current location on an online map with anyone. The map is constantly updated as you go, using your iPhone’s GPS.
DispoMaps is easy to use. Launch the app, switch Location Sharing to “ON,” and decide how you want to share your location: via SMS, email, twitter, or facebook.
Your recipients will be sent a link to a unique web page displaying a map of your real-time location. Once you have arrived at your destination, you can easily dispose of your map by switching Location Sharing to “OFF.”
DispoMaps does not require user accounts. And the recipients of your DispoMaps do not even have to have the app installed.
Your privacy is protected: The web page does not contain any information that reveals your personal identity. DispoMaps allows you to stop sharing and dispose of your map whenever you want. For enhanced security, DispoMaps automatically expire after a set period of idle time.

Meh
Sounds like a great idea but once I installed it and setup a map on Facebook it said the map was instantly deleted, even though my timeout is set for 99 minutes. If it won't work as intended, I give it a 2/5.
Does what it exactly promises to do: tell people where you are and if you are running late.
A great little app. It has two small downsides as far as I can tell. But these are not the app's fault but come with the iPhone and the network.
First, substandard network coverage (like in Australia) can complicate things a bit because your location can't be updated. The app can end up telling people you are still far away although you already arrived.
Second, battery life can also be a bit of a problem since 3G and GSM are running constantly.
But all in all a really great app that does exactly what it promises to do: tell people where you are and if you are running late. And it's very easy to use.
