Very easy! You just need to make a Http request to our server. You'll need a web hook to receive a location (or you can get it sent to an email address for testing)

The API is essentially taking a crude geolocation processes and refining it into something more useful. It shouldn't cost anything until the usage gets quite high. We're aiming to have it embedded into breakdown/delivery/emergency job management systems.

Only with the user's consent, if the user refreshes or revisits the URL they will resubmit a fresh location.

If you're referring to the credits, 1 credit is a single API call, 50 credits for an API call including an SMS send (as it costs more). So the free tier should have ample credits for some decent testing or even for production (5000 credits). See pinlogic.co/pricing for more

It essentially replaces telling someone verbally where you are. For breakdown assistance they can now get the customer's exact location without that person needing an app or trying to describe their location. The same goes for delivery or emergency.

Do you intend to handle content that doesn't fit within the specified page size, i.e. let it roll on to next page? Or let it stretch the div and break the A4/A3 page size as it does currently?

I guess you'd need JS to handle the content rollover.

So far: Event venues (registration, parking etc.), Rental car (return location) Kite surf lessons (meet me at this beach), Wedding (obscure church location) Meeting point for tours Holiday home rental (better than verbal directions)

But we're very keen to hear of more use cases.
