Linkmap

Linkmap is an Android application that serves as a real-time location tracking tool, crafted to provide users with the ability to monitor the movements and positions of their close contacts. The application prides itself on being completely free of charge—there are no hidden costs or premium options, which ensures an equitable experience for all users.

Seeking the whereabouts of loved ones or teammates? This app gives you the "big picture" by displaying daily movement paths, current location, and even the battery level of the connected devices on a map. It provides markers that clearly explicate the user's past locations, offering an intuitive visual representation that's easy to interpret. The additional feature of showcasing travel distance and battery status in graph form each day further enhances the ability to stay informed.

Understanding today's mobile battery life challenges, this software is engineered with energy-saving capabilities. It employs intelligent detection mechanisms, such as stationary detection to limit location reporting when the device is immobile, vibration detection to pause the locating process while on a steady surface, and indoor detection that deactivates GPS tracking when GPS signals are unavailable.

Security is a top priority for this platform. To safeguard user privacy, position information is encrypted and transmitted securely, and all location data is unequivocally purged from servers after three days. Data utilization is strictly confined to the app's core function—shared positioning among designated contacts.

Users can engage with up to five individuals, either by sharing location data or by receiving theirs. For those who prefer privacy, disabling position measurement prevents any data from being gathered or sent. Moreover, multiple devices under a single account are seamlessly managed, showing each device's location independently. Even during network downtime, positions are logged offline and synced once connectivity is re-established, ensuring no interruption in tracking continuity.

Linkmap is a practical solution for those who wish to stay connected with their contacts through real-time and secure location sharing.
