What is Ataraxic SMS Locator?
Ataraxic SMS Locator lets you easily share your location with selected contacts by sending SMS messages. A contact in your "Allow Location Sharing With" list just needs to send you an SMS with one of the "Locate Phrases" like "Where are you?". Ataraxic SMS Locator will automatically get your location and send it back to that contact. If that contact also has this app installed, their Ataraxic SMS Locator will plot your location on a map for them. If they do not have this app installed, they can just open the Google Maps link that is sent in the SMS message.
?? Scenario
Imagine you are at a loud concert and your friends are trying to find you. They send you an SMS saying "Where are you?". But you do not notice that your phone received a text message. However, since you have Ataraxic SMS Locator, your phone automatically sent your location to your friends. Moments later, you are amazed that your friends found you so easily in the middle of the crowd.
