Navizon MobFindr - Gets iPhone To SMS Home With Its Current Location

NavizonMobFindr

Remember Navizon?  It was the first pseudo-GPS app for the iPhone, and its jailbreak version still has some cool features that you don’t get with the Google Maps application.

Now a new feature called MobFindr has been added, which gives you an ability to send an SMS to the iPhone from any phone - using a special passphrase that you setup in the program - and have it send back a text with its exact current location details.

Pretty cool if your baby goes missing or, as the demo video suggests, perhaps for keeping tabs on your kid / kid’s iPhone.

This feature is available now in the current version of Navizon.  To see a video demo of the feature in action, just click the graphic at the top of this post.

Now the only question is how many will still be using Navizon in coming months, as I haven’t seen anything on it coming to the App Store, it seems likely to remain a jailbreak-only app …
