What is Bindo?

Bindo is a GPS tracker that tracks your own location and transmits this to your friends who also run Bindo on their iPhone. So you can see where your friends are at this moment and also your friends can see where you are.

Of course only those friends who you authenticate can see your location.

Features:

• Several different Map Styles, depending on your need.
  • Hiking/Biking Map with contour lines
  • Street Maps
  • Map data is cached, so if you go to the same place again, no need to download the maps again from the internet. You can also use this to download the map data via WiFi (e.g. at home or your hotel). Just pan over the area where you plan to go. Once you are out you can use these maps even without any internet connection.
• Waypoints
  • You can add picture to your waypoint
  • Design the waypoint marker, to mark a camp site, bus stop, car etc.
  • Send the waypoint to your friends, who can import this incl. picture.
    Of course you don't need to quit Bindo for this.
• Trips
  • All your trips are recorded on the iPhone
  • You can send an entire trip to your friends, who might use it as reference for their own journey.
  • Colors and line strength of the trips can be indivodually adjusted.
• Messages
  • You can send instant messages to your friends without leaving the App.
• Website
  • On the corresponding Bindo website (soon to be launched) you can look at your trips, show them on Google Maps, export them to Google Earth (KML) or as GPX file.

Screenshots

We just made the first version of our trip editor available. Just click on "Show my trips" and you are there.

You can also try this if you haven't used BindoGPS yet, we'll show you a demo trip, but you can't edit it.

First of all it shows all the recorded locations of a trip incl. Date, Time and Speed. When you hover with the mouse over one location it will be shown in the map.

The iPhone and therefore also BindoGPS unfortunately get the location sometimes wrong, they usually appear as big jumps on a trip. Now you can delete these wrong points to easily create a nice trip, that you can download as a KML file and share with your friends if you like.

Just click on"Delete Point" and it will be marked for deletion. You can still undelete it, but once you click on "Save changes and refresh the map" these point will be gone forever.
