It asks for 4 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: precise location and approximate location.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “apps”.

Privately send your location instantly to anyone however you want. Have you ever been trying to meet friends in a large public space, but been unable to find each other? I created GPS Share for just such a scenario. GPS Share lets you privately send a Google Maps link of your location to whomever you want, whenever you want, however you want. Send an SMS message to rendezvous with friends at a stadium or email yourself a reminder of where you parked at the airport. Post road trip updates to Twitter. Unlike Latitude and many other services, GPS Share does not run in the background and does not share your location with a third party. You use it when you want it. GPS Share is free and Open Source software and has no advertising. Internet access is used only to download Google Maps tiles.

GPS Share APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the GPS Share APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4ec6e6788b0bc84f9276835a2e0a94d4.
