FindMeSAR is a web application designed to provide users with an easy way to display their GPS coordinates and associated accuracy directly on their mobile phones or tablets. The tool's name, FindMeSAR, signifies its purpose in Search And Rescue operations, aiming to facilitate quicker rescues by providing crucial location information. While it functions in desktop browsers, its primary design and optimal performance are for mobile devices.
This tool operates as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing it to be installed and used offline, a critical feature for environments where internet access may be limited or unavailable. For optimal accuracy, the device must possess a GPS chip. Devices without a dedicated GPS chip can still display coordinates, but with significantly reduced accuracy, relying instead on alternative location sources like cell towers or Wi-Fi hotspots.
FindMeSAR is an open-source project, enabling anyone to view its source code through a browser's developer tools. This transparency allows users and developers to inspect the code, ensuring the application operates without malicious intent and fostering trust within its user base.
