Description:

“GPS Placebook” introduces an exciting new dimension to Facebook: the ability to post your exact geographic location to your Facebook Wall! Using “GPS Placebook”, a single touch of a button prepares a location-aware Wall post, which is posted directly to your Facebook Wall, so that your authorized Facebook Friends can immediately locate and/or navigate to your exact location via Google Maps in a computer web browser or the iPhone’s/iPod Touch’s built-in Maps application.

How would you use “GPS Placebook”? Here are some examples:

* You are on vacation in an exotic place, and want to let your Facebook Friends know exactly where you are having a great time, and where those pictures you just posted to your Wall were taken. Forget the typical “hey where were these taken? --where on the Island are you staying?” stream of posts that inevitably result. “GPS Placebook” answers those questions, and allows your Friends to view your current location on a map.

* You can’t believe you scored tickets to that big football game, and neither will your friends. Well, they will certainly believe it if you use “GPS Placebook” to post your location to your Facebook Wall during the game! Better yet, post the location of your tailgate party to your Facebook Wall -- and they can pull up the map, navigate to you, and be there to enjoy the excitement with you!

* You’ve found a great fishing hole, and need to summon the gang or tell them where this magical spot is at. Using “GPS Placebook”, you can let your Facebook Friends know the catch is on, and they’ll know exactly where on the river or lake you are.

* You’ve just got engaged! This is wonderful news to be shared. Use “GPS Placebook”, and your Facebook Friends will immediately know exactly where it happened!

* You’ve found a fabulous restaurant, a new specialty store, or a great new park for the kids to play at. This is information you want everyone to know about. “GPS Placebook” will give your Facebook Friends a map they can use to locate and navigate to your new discoveries!

* Forbid if you have an emergency, but at some point, they will happen. Never before have you been able to leverage a social network as far reaching as Facebook for help, but now you can! If you run out of gas, get a flat tire, wreck your bike, or are being followed by a stranger, immediately post your exact location to your Facebook Wall, which will open up a whole new source of possible help! It will also document your whereabouts, should others be trying to find you and/or you go missing. Your possible number of helping hands has now significantly expanded to the social network of Facebook!

Forget the complexity of navigation applications which bury you in controls and statistics, and social networking applications which entangle you in the vast array of information available. Sometimes more is just “more”. Get in, make a few touches, and get out. Simple, quick, and gets information to your Facebook Friends that is extremely useful.

HOW IT WORKS: “GPS Placebook” couldn’t be easier to use. When the application starts, there is one button displayed. Touch it, and “GPS Placebook” determines your current location, and allows you to login to Facebook. Once logged in, “GPS Placebook” automatically posts your present latitude, longitude, accuracy, and a link to a map to your Facebook Wall! Your authorized Facebook Friends can then with one click (on a desktop computer) or touch (on an iPhone/iPod Touch) display a map showing the exact location where your post was made from.

The only question left is, why isn’t “GPS Placebook” on your iPhone or iPod Touch?

NOTE: “GPS Placebook” is targeted for iPhone and iPod Touch devices running iPhone OS 3.0 and newer only.
