The core function Team GPS [App Store link] is to know the current position of your team and lookup on a map in your iPhone. I can imagine that a police squad hunting for criminals in a city may want to have this function in their pocket. The advantage is huge. First to have a situational awareness where your squad members really located. And if you need to shoot at the criminals, you avoid the chance to shoot at your squad member. - So called blue on blue deaths -, Okay now a less serious example. You are going for shopping with friends or family in New York city. Make a team in Team GPS. And at any moment, each member can lookup in a map where the are. And you can send an instant message to all to appoint a lunch break. All very effectively. As decribed, it is even possible that your grandma at home can follow the team from a desktop computer. teamGPS enables endless possibilities.
How does it work?
TeamGPS is a GPS network that keeps registering location information of client devices including iphone, MAC, PC, and other mobile devices. The information is then made available to all the client devices within the same team so you know where your team is and your team knows where you are. Every team has a password to ensure the information is only available within the team. No matter if you are hiking with friends, traveling with motorcycle buddies, playing in a theme park, shopping with family, or picking up your kids, teamGPS will allow you to keep up with your team!
How does it syncs?
All teams are managed dynamically. A team can be created on-the-fly from any teamGPS client program. A team member is added automatically when he or she signs into the specific team. All members in a team shall have a different username, but the same team ID and password will be needed. The member’s location will be updated automatically every 20 seconds as long as the member is signed in. (Note: If a team is inactive for a long period of time, it may be removed to free resources.)
