For my job, I need to be able to prove my location using my phone.

For my job, I need to be able to prove my location. My company will allow me to do this using my phone if I can come up with a way. Is there an app available that will show my gps location and then maybe I can take a picture of the screen using the front facing camera and a mirror? Would this even work? Could anyone offer some ideas or suggestions that might be easier/better?

Thanks in advance for any help,
yeto

you could use any map app to find your location then take a screen shot and send it via email

You can send your location in a text message. When writing a message just tap attach and my location.

the idea of using a mirror to take a screenshot is pretty funny

 

[yeto]

Is there an app I need to download to take a screenshot?

Thanks,
yeto

None at all. On most Windows phones, just press the power button at the same time as the Windows key/icon.

Badranath17 has it right though; it's much easier to just click "add location" (unless you're hoping to build a catalogue of mock locations to send in to work).

ya just in the text messaging just press the "attach" and press "location"

Just hold the sleep/wake button and the windows button at the same time. Then the screen shot will be saves to your albums under screen shot

I tried your suggestion and that works great. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

No problems glad I could help.

Apps like echoecho will allow others to track your location in real-time, too.

You could use Google Latitude, I think there are a few third-party apps in the store which allow you to use the service:

Buddytude – a Google Latitude app for Windows Phone | WMPoweruser

Gmaps pro has latitude but GPS Calculator lets you do raw GPS calculations as well. With GPS calc you can get the raw lat and long and take a screenshot.
