Geoloqi is a private, real-time mobile and web platform for securely sharing location data, with mobile apps available on iPhone and Android. Geoloqi can track a user’s location at all times, and use this data to provide various services. A user can leave himself a note to receive when he gets to a certain location, for example, a reminder to pick up batteries when he's in the store. The user can send a real-time map to a friend or client, to take the mystery out of when he or she will arrive.[1]
Geoloqi allows users to automatically notify others of their location by sending an automated SMS message to their phones when they get within a certain range.[2]
As of November, 2010, there have been 3 applications built with the Geoloqi API during programming competitions,[3] and Geoloqi's co-founders have won multiple awards for open source government applications using the Geoloqi API.[4][5][6]
In July 2011, Geoloqi was chosen as a recipient of $25,000 in convertible bonds and guidance through the Portland Seed Fund.[7][8][9][10] Geoloqi also received $350,000 in funding and guidance through TiE Oregon.[8]
