[Q] About contacts e GPS position

Hello!
Someone knows how can i set my actual gps position to any contact?
example:
im in your house, and i want to set de adress to your contact im my phone. but does not edit the contact position and write by hand, any applications that take the current position and set as your home address.
thanks
depends on what gps software you are using
if any of your contacts has an address on the contacts list you can open it on google maps and set the navigation path but then I'm not sure exactly what you mean or want to do.
i want to know if have a software that defines my current position as the address of a contact of mine. i want to put my current position to a contact of the list. for when I need, open the contact's address in Google Maps. could understand? Thank you for your attention

[Q] Need to create a location updates application

Hi ,
Ineed to create a location update programm which updates my location and send to the latest updated ocationally other named one's which has same application.Can anyway one give me suggestions for this
You don't need a fancy app, only two buttons: "check the GPS status" (to activate it if necesary) and "Install the service".
The services are much like alerts. When a time counter reaches certain time (defined by you), executes a small piece of code, so you can use it to get your current location and send it (or even, if you preffer, activate the GPS, get the location, and turn off the GPS to save battery).
Now, send the location to other device can be a bit difficult. I have no idea how to do it directly, but you can use a server as bridge (any FTP server should work, or even dropbox using the dropbox api for android). This way, you'll need to login into the server (both apps). Your first app uploads the location to the server, and the second app downloads the file and shows it to the user.
To update the location in the second app, you can use simply an Update button, or set up a service aswell.

[Q] Pinpoint & save GPS location

Hello,
I am looking for an app, which could get and save my current location provided by GPS sensor. Sure, there are Google Maps, but i can't save my position from there.
Gps status is another great example, but there's no way to export it in some file directly. It gives me coordinates in text format, then I have to open Google Earth, create pin and enter coordinates.
I would like to have something, that would allow me to save coordinates along with specified name. For exaxmple:
I get current position, provide name: "My House", and it would export the coordinates to file named My House.txt, which would contain cordinates.
Or even better, if it were able to export KMZ / KML files for Google Earth directly.
What's my reason to this ?
I am seasonal diver, and most of the time, I dive from the boat - I would like to "bookmark" my location and then, later at home I would like to check, where exactly the boat parked on the sea / where was I diving.
Do you know any app of this kind ?
PS: it is very important for me. I am leaving for my holiday in 2 days.
Many thanks.
You may try Share my position : https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=location&fdid=net.sylvek.sharemyposition&fdpage=2 and maybe send an SMS to yourself ?
After some Play Store research, I have come to this.
So if anyone interested, check out this play store link.
It does everything, what I need. Get GPS, save it and then export in various formats - sql, csv, kml, gpx.
