Pinggl Location Sharing

The simplest way to share where you are going on the map with others.

Pinggl is the better way to say "on my way" by showing your location on a map as you move. No more "are you here yet?" again, ever.

Our main focus is on you, the sender, and your privacy. You are not being tracked, you are sending out location anonymously to people you specifically want to share with, via a pinggl. You are in complete control. Pinggl is the simplest and safest way to communicate your location.

The possibilities are endless, here are ways our users have been using Pinggl:

• Meeting Up for Coffee - Share your location with a friend whose waiting for you at a coffee shop.

• Expected at Home - Let family know how close you are to home, so they know when to prepare dinner.

• Rushing to a Meeting - If you’re running late to a meeting with a client, give them your Pinggl so they know exactly when you will arrive.

Technical Notes:

• Location reporting to the server is secured with SSL.

• Pinggl's position expires after 10 minutes since last update.

• Your identity is not associated to a pinggl. An observer of a pinggl will not know its originator unless they are informed prior (i.e. you send it to them).

• Battery usage is as reasonable as your navigation application due to GPS use. When no pinggl is active, no GPS is used.
