Allowing you to choose how you wish to be informed that you have reached your location (Buzzer, birds, crickets, etc)

✔ Customize the accuracy required:
Meaning you can save battery power if you don't need such precise location analysis

Giving you the option to tell your friends about the Location Alarm if you want to

INSTRUCTIONS

❶ Customize the app's 'Settings'
❷ Add a new alarm location(s)
❸ Leave app running in foreground/background to be informed when you reach your destination

HINTS N TIPS

● If you need less precise positioning information (e.g. you are on a long train journey and need to know when you are within 5 miles of your location) then reduce the accuracy of the GPS required, to save your battery consumption
● Use the homepage to see how far you are from each location (updated in real-time)

DISCLAIMER INFORMATION

If you require positioning alarms for business or other critical uses, please use a separate GPS system as back-up, just in case this alarm does not fire for some reason (e.g. the GPS is out of range because you are on an underground train).
Please do not use this app when it is dangerous to do so (e.g. while your are driving your car).
