Glympse is a popular geolocation application for sharing your location with anyone in the world, without the need for extra accounts or social networks. Today, they’re taking their location services a bit further by announcing a partnership with Evernote that will allow users to export “trails” of their locations to an Evernote folder to track things like road trips or vacations. The notes will contain the duration of a shared location, date, time, and several other bits of information to keep an extremely detailed record of where you’ve been. It’s a pretty cool new feature that’s live in the update today for current users of Glympse, but if you want to test it out, both Glympse and Evernote are free. Check out the press release below.
Glympse Real-Time Location Trails Now Saved Within Evernote
New Integration Allows Glympse Users to Archive Location Details in Evernote
SEATTLE – July 3, 2013 – It was only a matter of time before Glympse, Inc., the world’s leading real-time location sharing service, began working with Evernote, the company that is helping the world remember everything, to allow users to easily save their Glympse “trails” in one place. Now included within Evernote Trunk in the Lifestyle and Travel Category, Glympse users can easily choose Evernote directly from the mobile app and automatically archive their location broadcast.
“Many of our users have requested a way to save a snapshot of their Glympse map trails so they can view road trips, keep runs and bike rides, archive a special trip abroad, or just remember an interesting location. We wanted to make this feature simple and easy,“ said Bryan Trussel, co-founder and CEO of Glympse. “Evernote is the perfect solution: users retain complete control over how they share their location and can choose to save their trips to their personal Evernote account for review at a later date.”
Sharing to Evernote from Glympse is easy: like sharing to Facebook or Twitter, a user simply signs in to their Evernote account in the Glympse mobile app. They can then send a Glympse to their Evernote account to automatically save their trail for future reference. The completed trail is automatically stored in a folder in Evernote named “My Glympse Trails.” From this folder, users are able to see snapshots of their saved trails along with the details (including recipients, date, time, and duration of the Glympse as well as the destination if included) of each Glympse saved.
“Evernote helps people remember their lives, and a big part of living is traveling from place to place. With Glympse, those trips can be recorded alongside an Evernote’s users other memories. It’s a natural fit,” said Rafe Needleman, director of developer relations.
