#12Sounds useful. Some non-consumer examples off the top of my head are:
-search and rescue missions. Track the location of each person as they search and figure out what parts of the geography have been covered.

Overall, it's well made and deserves to become a staple tool for live location sharing.

One I can think of is a marathon, family/friends could see how you're doing.

#18is this any different than Glympse?
We built this because we found Glympse's UX was cumbersome and difficult to navigate. Just like how Instagram stripped down features from other photo sharing apps and made a better experience, we iterated a design that was super easy to use especially for drivers who want to share their location quickly. Moby is also more of an enterprise and API play. We enable developers to easily add real-time location aware featu…
being developped using PhoneGap, it would be nice to have some feedback on how easy the porting from iOs was, and what kind of tools / js framework they used !
