TICE – Secure GPS Location Sharing with Friends

TICE – Secure GPS Location Sharing with Friends is an Android application for sharing live locations during meetups. It is designed for friends, family members, and colleagues who need to coordinate where they are and where they are going. The app belongs to the Location Tracker & Sharer category and focuses on location sharing within private meetings.

Users can start a secure meetup and invite participants with a link. Participants can view one another on a private map in real time and can choose a meeting point for the group. TICE supports meetups with a single person or with larger groups. It also provides group chat messages and real-time notifications for coordinating the meeting.

Location sharing is controlled by the user, who selects the people involved and can disable sharing when it is no longer needed. The app uses end-to-end encryption to protect shared location data and messages. It does not require a phone number or email address, allowing it to be used without those personal contact details. TICE can also be used to coordinate with iPhone users, despite being distributed here as an Android application.

TICE is open-source, so its source code is available under an open-source license rather than being a closed proprietary application. MirrorNest mirrors the official Android build directly on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication, giving Android users a catalog-based way to obtain the application.
