Location Share

Location Share is an open-source Android application for sharing a displayed location with other people. It lets users send that location through a compatible sharing option or copy it to the clipboard. The app is intended for people who want to choose how and with whom a location is shared. It does not make the sharing decision on the user’s behalf.

Sharing is handled through applications that accept plain text. Supported uses include sending the location by SMS or email, posting it through social networks, or placing it in a note-taking application. The user selects the application and the people who should receive the location. Copying the location to the clipboard provides another way to use it elsewhere. Location Share does not track the device’s location in the background. It also does not send the location automatically, so the location is shared only with people the user explicitly chooses to tell.
