There could be many advantages for a land surveyor to use GeoMessages from the field. Just read what one of their customers said about the application: "This mobile application has one simple but effective feature, it allows you to save a location in Google Maps. So for example, when you park your car you can find your way back to it's exact location. Or, imagine you have checked into a hotel in an unfamiliar city, you can store the hotel's location and always be able to find your way back no matter where you wander"
Now you can only imagine how useful this could be when working on a large project and searching for the equipment you may have stashed here and there...hmmm
Mobile web application lets you add a link with your current location info to the outgoing messages. No social networks, no passwords, no identity revealing, no ID's etc. Just one click deal. Check out it right from your mobile phone (iPhone, Android, Nokia S60 - actually any mobile browser with HTML5 support is Ok).
600 billion text messages per year in the US ask "where are you?" - Location Business Summit 2010. A huge market, is not it? Do not type your answer to that question manually anymore. Send a link. Or just save/bookmark the location link for your own usage in the future.
