## Description

Stay close to the people who matter — privately and on your terms. GPS Location & Phone Tracker lets you share live GPS only after mutual approval via QR code or join code. Start, pause, or stop sharing anytime; an ongoing notification shows when sharing is active. Create geofence safety zones (Home, School, Office), receive enter/exit alerts, and preview street-level imagery with Mapillary to plan meet-ups or find entrances.

Designed for families, friends, and groups, the extension also helps with meet-ups and events by showing real-time locations and nearby places (cafés, ATMs, hotels, gas stations). Background location is optional and can be disabled. We process precise location and basic account info only to deliver core features and protect data with industry-standard encryption. Consent, transparency, and simple contact management are built in so you stay in control.
