Think about it: How often do you share information about your location with friends, family or colleagues each day? Where are you? When will you be home? I’m running 15 minutes late for the meeting. Let’s meet at the restaurant at 6 p.m. With Glympse, you no longer need to make a phone call or send a text to communicate common location-based information. Designed to keep up with an increasingly mobile lifestyle, Glympse visually answers the question of “Where are you?” with a dynamic map that updates your whereabouts in real-time.

You can now “glympse” anyone in your contact list and share your location as easily as sending a text message, but a lot more fun. Recipients know exactly where you are, when and for as long as you want them to. In short, Glympse is simple, safe location sharing — in an instant.
