Anybody using this yet?

I finally got around to using it, pretty freaking cool and very accurate down here to a few feet.

Def fun to use. Although could get you in trouble if you are going places you shouldn’t haha.

Well with Loopt, people can’t see where you are unless you allow them to each time they try. And the program has to be running for them to see you. I would assume this works the same way.

Yeah you can choose private to block where people see you, or you can set it so they think you are somewhere else.
