Location sharing apps for your iToy

So as has been suggested on quite a few sites, the number of location apps on the iTunes app store continues to increase. Today I am focusing on location sharing apps. These are apps that allow you to acquire your location (via GPS, wifi, or cell location) and email your location. The app the I am currently using is I Am Here by Aboretum Software which is a free app that does not provide a map interface but offers a text display of your current lat/long in a nice clean interface and then email your location in a Google Maps URL. Two other recent additions with similar functionality are the $.99 Breadcrumbs and SpotMe! which provide the same functionality, but add viewing your current location on a map. There is another app named I Am Here with similar functionality but it isn’t rated very highly so I skipped it. I will keep an eye on the new offerings in the app store for something with a bit more umpphh though I recommend checking out Nearby, Platial’s location app while we wait for the mobile GIS iApp that is sure to come along some day.
