Unlike other location sharing applications, LocoMapia works even without GPS, a press release here said.
LocoMapia uses the phone contact list to connect between LocoMapia users and gives alert each time a person in the contact list joins LM.
The application gives distance and route to reach a particular person and helps the user decide whether it's worth a walk or the metro. Similarly, while travelling, if one dozes off and lose track of time and place, all it needs is a peek into LocoMapia which gives the exact location info, the release said.
The application is free to download and is presently available only in the Android/Google Play Store; compatible with Android 2.1 and higher. LocoMapia for other mobile platforms will be available within three months in Blackberry, Windows, and iOS versions.
