Introduction

Please read how to make Thyme ready for the first steps in Appendix: Installation.

Thyme is a minimalistic tool for Android (2.x, 4.x, maybe more), which can send your location (either determined by GPS or just coarsely by the GSM network and the ev|l Google database) as a SMS to another person.

Visit the homepage for more details, and for the download link.

Appendix: Installation

Install Thyme via the installation package for your environment, if a suitable one exists for download. After the installation, you can skip the rest of this section.

Source Code Archive

Use the source code archive as fallback. Extract it to a location which is convenient to you (Windows users need an external archive program; for example the great '7-Zip' tool). Also take a look at the Dependencies for external stuff you need to install as well.

To compile it, bring your Android SDK in place, choose the proper target platform in the project settings (i.e. Android 2 or 4), and do the usual stuff (see Android SDK docs).
