Send and Request your location via email or SMS with SendAFix!
SendAFix is an easy way to send your location or allow friends and family to view your location on their PC or mobile device.
SendAFix will determine your position based on your BlackBerry GPS and send a map to the recipient. If your BlackBerry GPS is unavailable, SendAFix will try to determine your location based on cell towers.
SendAFix works two ways:
1. Send your location via the system wide "SendAFix" menu option by selecting a contact or typing in an email address or mobile number.
2. Allow users to request your location when they send an email with the subject "SendAFix" or text the word "SendAFix" to your BlackBerry.
SendAFix will notify you that someone is requesting your location. If you allow the request SendAFix will try to determine your location and reply with a link to your location which can be viewed on a PC or Mobile device.
You can give permission to specific people in your address book who can always view your location, such as close friends and family. This is done by creating a group in your address book called "SendAFix" and adding contacts to this group.
SendAFix can also be used to recover a lost or stolen BlackBerry!
