Find Me Here 1.7.1.0
Among the applications that are focused on offering a quick map overview or some GPS location data on the fly, Find Me Here offers Windows Phone users a neat way of getting the necessary info and sending it on the fly.
Plain and simple front-end, made for practical use
The unadorned appearance of this utility relies on a more functional layout, that leaves aside appealing graphics in favor of an efficient and accurate data display.
The information is presented in a clear and easy to read manner, while the space reserved to the photo of the location you can take with this app is decent.
There is, nonetheless, a constant nuisance that comes in the form of some animated advertisement banners, which appear in the lower side of the main screen and keep on changing.
Automatic acquiring of location details
As soon as you start Find Me Here it will get to work and try to get the correct coordinates of your current position. In order to obtain accurate measurements you should use the app mostly in open air, where the detection is a lot more precise than indoors.
Besides the latitude and longitude data, the utility provides street, city and postal code info, but it can also show the building number or the state, depending on the available info and the country you are in.
Take a snapshot and share your location
A neat feature offered by this application is the ability to capture a photo and send it along your location details, so as to make it a bit easier for people looking for you to find the actual spot you are currently in.
Find Me Here relies on the data provided by Bing Maps and it enables you to send out the information it gathers via SMS, email or social networks.
Optionally, you can exclude the address from the message and leave only the coordinates to be sent out, along with the link to the map where your location is marked.
On the downside, you will not be able to share in the same message both the location data and the snapshot, while there is no way of storing or tagging previously visited places where the app was used.

Bottom Line
Design / UI5
The less uninspired look of this app loses a lot of points, especially since it has many ads inside the GUI. |
Function7
The utility offers a decent feature set that allows anyone to send out important location data and photos, but also has some lacks. |
Security7
Find Me Here looks inside some system areas it shouldn't touch and it also sends out usage data by default. |
Battery5
The load on the phone battery is pretty considerable, as this app will need quite a lot of power to run properly. |
Price9
The features are all free to use, but in order to get rid of the annoying adverts, users will have to pay a small fee. |
Compatibility9
Those who have at their disposal a Windows Phone 8 or higher handset can have this app installed and running onto their device. |
