GeoMessage

Much of our daily communication with friends and family consist of short messages that are location dependent. I'm leaving work… I got to school… I'm an hour away… I'm on the bus… These recurring messages are important, but sending them manually can be tedious, or even unsafe if you are driving. GeoMessage lets you automate these communications for your safety and convenience.

With GeoMessage, you can pre-compose short email messages that are automatically sent in the background when you cross a pre-determined geographic boundary. These messages can be customized to activate only on specific days of the week and during set time-ranges. For example, Laura's class schedule varies from day to day. Her mom likes to know when she's on her way home, but doesn't want her to text or call while driving. GeoMessage does this automatically whenever her car enters or leaves a preset boundary. In this example, Laura sets GeoMessage to e-mail, "On Ft. Duquesne Bridge" to her mom whenever she crosses the bridge after 3PM on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Key Features:
- Create multiple GeoMessages
- Each GeoMessage can be sent to up to three email address
- Designed to minimize power consumption
- Posts local notifications on your device confirming when messages are sent

Note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. GeoMessage was designed to minimize use of GPS hardware, so impact on battery life is reduced but may still be noticable.

Your location information is sensitive and GeoMessage is designed to protect your privacy. Your personal information and location data are never transmitted over the Internet by GeoMessage.
