Family GPS.me Locator via SMS is a family location app for phones. It helps parents and family members see a loved one's location on a map, check route history and stay connected when mobile internet is unreliable.

When internet is available, GPS.me works as a regular GPS family locator. When a phone loses data connection, the app can send a compact location update by SMS to a trusted number. This helps in places with weak mobile data, travel, rural areas or emergencies.

Key features:
- Family location on the map
- SMS location fallback when internet is unavailable
- Black Box offline route history: movement points can be saved locally and synced later when connection returns
- Route history with battery and location context
- Places and notifications for family safety
- Designed for Android phones

GPS.me is built for transparent family safety. Location sharing must be set up on the phone with the required Android permissions. The app is not a hidden tracker and does not read stored SMS history. SMS messages are used only for the configured location fallback, and carrier SMS charges may apply.

Location accuracy depends on GPS, Wi-Fi, cell network data, Android settings, device battery mode and local conditions. In some situations the app may show an approximate location or the last known location.

Use GPS.me to keep family location visible, preserve route history when internet drops, and receive important updates from phones you manage with consent.
