Description
An Open Source Android Application that automatically shares your location while you drive based on SMS.All you have to do is to choose a destination, a keyword and to start the application. When someone sends you an SMS with that keyword, the application will auto respond with your location and ETA to your destination.
The application it is battery friendly because it uses a "BroadcastReceiver", which means that the application is not running on the background,. The Android system sends an event when a SMS is received and the application will start in the background. It uses the GPS for a limited time, only to get the location for the response, after that it will close again.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
