Introduction

The primary function of YourLo.ca/tion is to automate the transmission of GPS coordinates from a smart phone to a requesting agency without installing any software on the client device.  

We achieve this by using the following process:

  • Requesting agency sends a link to the subject
  • Subject clicks the link, loading a web page
  • The web page asks the subject to share their location
  • The web page pushes the location back to the requesting agency.

Please bear in mind that this process is subject to many limitations – including phone battery life, network access, data access, and other factors. Be sure to understand these issues before using.
