Ever needed to tell your friends where you are? Forget where you parked? If you have an Android phone, there’s now a solution: Flare.

Flare is an easy way of sharing locations and remembering them. Simply type a message, pick a phone number, and your flare will be sent, even if your friend doesn’t have Flare. Flare uses text messages to communicate, so no personal information is ever sent to a website.

You can purchase Flare from the Android Market. For those with Barcode Scanner:

Flare is my first Android app, and I’ve been working on it for months now. I hope you’ll give it a look, and if you find it useful, please reblog.

This is one of the coolest DIY electronics projects I’ve seen in a while. Thanks to my dad for showing me this!
