Background Location Broadcaster (Android app)

Web apps (web sites) are very powerful tools, however "background location" does not work with them.

Background Location Broadcaster is a tool, which lets the user send the location, to web apps (URIs), continuously in the background.

Note! Only a few sites can be used with the app: List of controllable sites.

How to install:

The app is on Google Play here.

How to use:

Steps:

1) Generate and copy uri / key on the site you want to control (List of controllable sites).

Ex: Go to "taxi.closeby.market" > "Settings" > "User settings" > "Uri with authentication key for remote controller"

Click "Generate new".

Click "Copy to clipboard".

2) Paste uri/key in the Background Location Broadcaster app.

Go to (the Background Location Broadcaster app) > "Manage List" > "Add". Then paste the uri and click save.
