What can I do with Geochat?

With Geochat you will be able to:

  • Create, join and participate in chat groups by SMS, email, or web browser.
  • Add your location in many different location formats, geochat will translate this location into a position in the map.
  • Subscribe a group to one or more RSS/ATOM feeds, and each new item will be broadcast to mobile users via SMS.
  • Create your own “local gateway” mini-client that allows you to plug a local cell phone into your laptop, connect to the Internet, and allow users to send and receive text messages through the service via the local cell network.
  • See, at a glance in the Map, who said what, when, and where.
  • Verify, refute, or update information live from the field using your mobile phone.
  • Share the benefits of their geospatial “big picture” view (if you are a highly-connected user) and push out relevant RSS/ATOMfeeds to a barely connected users via SMS.
  • Ensure that your teammates know where you are and what you are doing.
  • Visualize your remote team on the surface of a map and interact with them.
  • Use it on any PC, Mac, or Linux PC capable of running Mozilla Firefox
  • Use it from any cell phone capable of sending and receiving SMS messages.
