A way to share real time GPS oordinates

Hello,
I am in search of a program that will allow me to share multiple gps 'points' with another phone user.
The scenario: My new fuze has built in GPS. (I have found programs that allow you to share your location with a friend) but I am looking at sharing with a friend but they have multiple points.
The request: I live and work on a farm, when we are working in the fields we may hit many rocks when plowing. If I could send this GPS location to my dad who also has a phone with gps (by sms is what the other programs are using) but I keep going and then hit another one-?Send it to him he gets it and then can go and pick it up. So he gets a real time location of multiple spots of where these rocks are in the field. I am sure I can do this static using points and then when I am done I can then save them and import and export to the other phone, but I was looking for a way to do this in real time.
Any Ideas on how this can be accomplished? Anything that I need to explain I shirly will. I look forward to any ideas!
Thanks,
Clayton

Interesting.. I didn't expect farmers to be playing with smartphones in the fields, last time I helped my grandfather we were lucky to have frozen milk jugs of water ;-)
GPSToday could do that for you, you can share and receive waypoints in real time from subscribed groups, but I'm not sure about the navigating to the other spot in a rural area, might have to just see how it does.
As you say, there are many programs which can share a location but real time which will work as you'd want in a rural area not sure. You'd almost want to have a heading to the location to find the waypoint later vs it just being on a map.

Hi cwrisley,
As khaytsus said, GPSToday might be exactly what you are looking for. Give it a shot. http://www.geoterrestrial.com/
If both of you install GPStoday on your phones, all you need to do it send him a GeoMail via sms to send him a particular location. He will instantly see the location open up on his map.
Thanks

Isn't Google Latitude doing this ...

The marking of multiple spots in a field? No?

Thanks for the help. I have downloaded it and will try it out this weekend.

Finger Friendly Financial Program

Does anyone know a good finger friendly financial program, i have tried a few but all require the use of a stylus

I'd be interested in this too.
I've been meaning to make my own for ages but not got around to it. ATM I'm using a simple spreadsheet in Excel with a few sheets for different categories cos you can simply pinch and zoom so it's quite finger friendly.

Specs
How about some specifications regarding what would be required in such an application.
Could possibly be an interesting project to start....

For me a program would:
-Record amount of money coming in each month
-Record all expenditure with date, spend category
-Summary of expenditure by week/month/year/category
-Categories to include misc/transport/entertainment/food/bills/investments/total
All with nice finger friendly spinners and big fat buttons that are nice to use on the HD2.
I added an excel spread sheet that I use currently. I just rename it every month. This one doesn't have a way of recording how much money is coming in.

very interested her as well. Here are a few i found from a google search and have tried NONE yet. Just putting these here as starting point. Maybe we can try them and see if they are finger friendly. Doesn't look like some are but some you cant tell.

Just installed this one.
It's ok but very basic. Pretty finger friendly but there are bugs. When I open up a date selector is MASSIVE and doesn't fit on the screen with no way of scrolling.
No way of entering recurring things like rent, salary etc
Can't add new categories so you've only got All, Expense & Income.

i jsut tried this one
Lyma Power Budget (Maybe finger Friendly)
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Bu...et-69396.shtml
it has TONS of potential. the only thing i see wrong is some text is kinda cut off. can you give it a try and see if you are getting what i am getting in my screenshots? I also added some screens to show its wroking great in other areas. I am almost inclined to overlook the text issue in the overview Wow this one is pretty damn nice!!

You're right, that was in nice but the same problem occurs one mine.
The desktop version looks nice too and allows you to sync with the phone.
I've emails them about the problem so maybe they'll fix it?

i set up all my expenses on the device the synced it back to the desktop. This is actually very very nice. They cut off text isnt enough for me to skip it , i am going to go with this. When they respond please update this and let me know what they say. They will get 2 customers here if they can work it out i think
check your PM's in a minute, about to send you something

Just to warn you all the Avast flagged this .exe as containing a trojan on my home PC. However McAffee didn't flag it at work
Maybe you should be careful when downloading it.

There's also this free one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416282
not sure if it's super finger friendly up it's updated and free.

Got this message from the devs
Dear Matt,
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Thank you for the screenshot, we really appreciate it.
Unfortunately we have not yet updated the application to support Windows Mobile 6.5 or the new device resolution.
We are hoping to have this completed in the next few weeks.
We will email you when the update is available if you like.
Kindest Regards,
Lyma Design.

Easy expense works fine. Simple and as it say easy. finger friendly to certain extent, not much eye candy, but does what it is made for. Export function limited, but ok.

I'm currently working on a finance app that includes all of the functionalties mentioned in this thread. Also, another cool function about this app is that it sums up all of the entries on the same date/merchant/category/payment depends on that sorting is selected instead of the just total amount. The app also supports logging of multiple periods. For example, if you go on a business trip, you can start a new period just for this business trip as it doesn't belong in the daily expenses/revenues. Once the business trip is done, you can save it and resume your daily expenses/revenues period.
The app supports storing your receipt when you create a new expense (giving your device can take picture)
I'm still working on this app as there are a few functionalities that i would like to add before releasing.

Here are more pics

and even more pics

Please post soon... I've been looking for a finance app forever like this... Keep us all posted... do you have a beta cab to mess with?

Right now i don't have any beta cab for testing yet as i'm just doing self testing. Once it's stable and has all of the functionalities that i wanted to implement, i will release a test version.

the app is in italian and in english.
if you change the language of your device, you can see this.
for the permission used for the app:
INTERNET (used for ads)
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE (used for ads)
CALL_PHONE (used for retrieve account email to send a bug to me)
GET_ACCOUNTS (used for retrieve account email for send a bug to me)
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (used for backup/restore exams on sd...it's a feature of new release)
i'm happy to receive your comments and review for this app.
Thanks
ps:i'm sorry for my english

up
can you help me to improve this app?
I'm waiting for your comments and reviews
Thanks.

[APP][Fitness] Route Runner

Hello fellows!
I want to introduce my new running application to you! (download link at the bottom)
Route Runner is the perfect running application for everybody! It doesn't matter if you
are a beginner or an advanced runner. Route Runner makes running even more interesting for you!
Being somewhere and you don’t know where to run to get a route with a specific length? Going in another country without internet connection where you want to run a previously created route, but you won’t remember every checkpoint? Are you new into running and you want to start it easy and continuously increase your running experience? Are you an advanced runner looking for challenges?
Route Runner is the solution!
Create your route!
The main feature of Route Runner is to create your own route or let the application create one. Just drag & drop the start, finish and up to eight checkpoints on the map to create your custom route. Tell the application that you want to run about 5km and Route Runner calculates a random route for you. Adapt the random generated route later on, if you are not happy enough with it!
Start your run!
Start a run anytime and track yourself. If you have previously created a route, the app can tell you where to run (e.g. Turn right on..) ! While running Route Runner tells you your current statistics. Afterwards you can always share your workout.
The other possibility to go on a workout is to start an activity run. The application tells you when to start and stop an activity. For example beginners can use this function to run for 3 minutes and then walk for one minute. Advanced runners may sprint every 1 kilometer/mile for 10 seconds. It doesn’t matter if you are a good runner or not! Activity run may help everybody to get even more out of their running experience.
Share your workout or route!
If you want to share your workout or route you can simply do that with every application installed on your smartphone that supports sharing. Whilst a lot of other applications require Facebook, Twitter, .. permissions, Route Runner won’t ask you for anything like this! Your data remains your data!!
Motivate yourself!
Achievements are a good motivation technique! Try to run faster or even further! Increase your running experience by achieving simple tasks.
Features:
* Quick run
* Activity run
* Custom route
* Random route
* Save/Load routes
* Export/Import routes
* Offline saved routes
* List your workouts
* Achievements
* Your data remains your data
* Share workouts without app asking for Facebook, Twitter, .. permissions
* Easy to learn!
* For beginners and advanced runners
I would be happy if you could give it a try! It's worth it!
I can't post outside links, but if you go on Google Play and search for "Route Runner" you will find it

thanks mate =)

Great APP!! Random routes are a fantastic idea, never seen this in any popular running app.
And btw best email support ever
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

would it be possible to integrate this with a website that lets you plan your routes in advance on your computer, and then transfer the route you made to your app? for example, i often use gmaps pedometer to plan routes, and ive always wanted to be able to transfer the route i made to my phone some how! Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be gmaps pedometer, per say, but something like that would be great!
Otherwise, thanks for a great app!

GMaps lets you create the routes and export those routes.. Currently my application does not support to import from Google Maps, maybe I am going to implement this. Good point

[App][4.0+] Complex Numbers Calculator

Hello XDADevs,
I have built an Android App that should work as a calculator for complex numbers. It can do simple tasks such as add two numbers but can also factorize a polynomial or solve one for its roots. I have created different layouts for Smartphones and Tablets and would like feedback from user here. Of course, anyone is welcome, but I'd especially like someone with a mathmatical background to try and make my calculations break. Results can be easily shared in text format.
The app can be downloaded via Google Play here and is available in english and german:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.vertedge.complexnumbers

@WeissenbornC I have a further maths exam in a few months which includes lots of this sort of stuff, and although I wasn't looking for an app like this, I saw the name had "numbers" in and was interested it looks like it would definitely be useful for checking if I've correctly found roots of polynomials like you say and things like that; I'll do some revision over the weekend and see if your app gets the right answers! (Hopefully I will too :silly: )

As another mathematician from Bonn - I like this app

I'm looking forward to return home and test this with my tablet, specially the matriz part...

Thanks, I hope the app will help. The limitation is that results are found as decimal values, e.g. the square root of 2 will be 1.41... The exact result depends on the number format, which you can set yourself in the settings.

I hope I didn't disappoint too much: The matrix part leads to my other app on the playstore, which is free for real (meaning java double) numbers, but does cost money for complex numbers. The amount of money should be less than your average chocolate bar however.
Thanks all for the feedback, it's very much appreciated.

I wanted to thank you guys for bringing my app to the front page. I was surprised and it still gets me smiling to this day that the best resource I know out there on mobile development noticed my little dot on the screen of the app world.
I also changed the name of the app to "Complex Numbers Calculator", because, after all, to be seen takes more than making a great app today.
