PhoneTrack SMS
APK
Location sharing that respects your privacy and your data plan. This phone track app (PhoneTrack SMS) responds to text message requests with your GPS coordinates — no internet required, no account needed, no data used. It focuses on one thing and keeps it simple. A trusted contact texts your keyword and the phone texts back a location and an OpenStreetMap link. Need regular check-ins? Subscribe for periodic updates that include how far and which direction you've moved. The sender doesn't even need the app installed. New requests are held in a PENDING state until you decide: APPROVED numbers always get a reply, BLOCKED numbers are quietly ignored. You don't have to think about it until you want to. Features: * One-shot location request: reply with GPS fix + OpenStreetMap link * Subscriptions: periodic updates with heading and distance delta (e.g. ⇐314m) * Approval gate: PENDING → APPROVED / BLOCKED * Zero internet permission — SMS only, always * No account, no cloud, no tracking * Android 8.0 (API 26) and later

This collective approach means that every contribution helps to improve the app for all users, fostering a shared, up-to-date resource that benefits everyone interested in public art. ## Key features Show what's around and offer to show the details for each artwork.

Qz
APK
Receive live traffic news via Traffic Message Channel (TMC) Qz (pronounced “queues”) connects to an RDS/TMC receiver to receive live traffic messages. TMC is transmitted in the RDS data stream of various radio channels and provides live traffic information, helping you avoid congestions. For a list of countries in which this app can be used, see https://gitlab.com/mvglasow/qz/wikis/countries. In order to use this app, you will need a supported RDS/TMC receiver. The following devices are currently supported: * GNS FM9-BT (requires Bluetooth) * Silicon Labs Si4701/4703-based USB tuners (requires USB OTG support) If you are unable to pick up any traffic messages, despite having a supported device and being in an area which should be supported, check your antenna. Reception with pigtail antennas (a long piece of wire coming out of the receiver) is generally poor and insufficient for TMC. It is recommended to rely on your vehicle antenna, a building antenna or a somewhat decent room antenna. Qz will only work with unencrypted TMC services (as encrypted services require paying a per-device royalty). Also, some countries have chosen to require paying a royalty for access to their location tables (which Qz needs to decode TMC locations) and are therefore not supported.

RoadEagle
APK
RoadEagle retrieves traffic information from various open data portals (most of them made available by road operators), displays the data in a list and makes it available to TraFF-aware applications, such as Navit. Currently Poland and Lithuania are supported. A data connection is required. The actual data reported may vary between countries. Also, as RoadEagle needs to convert the data from different formats to TraFF, it may not be able to represent all traffic messages as intended by their creators. This app receives requests from compatible apps (consumers) which may expose the device location (and, possibly, where you intend to travel). Because of the location information, consumer apps may refuse to send such requests to apps without location permission. This is the only thing RoadEagle uses this permission for; it will never request a location update. Photo by Joanna Pędzich-Opioła | CC_BY 2.0
