Find my Friends app

Post by Jembo » Thu Sep 20, 2012 10:37 am

Came across this while upgrading to IOS6... and given you can set it up as a 'temporary find me' though might be useful for some of the events we attend - the Goodwood Breakfast meet comes to mind.

Anyone use it yet?

not sure really... works on the web and across platforms too, I think you can get the app for all mobile devices. FMF does work though, I just haven't used it much.

I have MobileMe for that, linked to the Where's My Phone' app... And for the wife too :P

And for Wee Bing I have installed a rather nifty wee app that allows me to link to his ipod's camera is if it was a remote CCTV module. Can't remember what it is called though, need to check...
