Veeble Softtech, a web and mobile based technology solutions provider has developed a new application Locomapia (LM) a real time location sharing mobile app that updates the location, route, and distance between connected LocoMapia users.

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 comes handy in various real life situations. Parents can track the exact location of their children. There's no need to call up every time everyone to know where they have reached, as long as they're your LocoMapia contact and their location is shared with you," said AshwinNarasimha, Chief Executive officer of the Veeble SoftTech Pvt Ltd.

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.
