I'm always on the look out for ways to see where all my buddies are, but the first question I asked of myself is how do these communicate locations to each other? GPS is only down from the satellite to the device to provide a location, how does it provide that to users. It appears it uses Mesh Networking like some of the Bluetooth Communicators.

“Mesh” describes a type of topography used by some networks. In other words, mesh describes the manner networked devices (called nodes) communicate amongst one another. In most contemporary topologies, all nodes will connect to some central point or points which direct traffic to and from nodes. Alternately, in a mesh network nodes communicate directly with each other - in some cases only directly, and in others through other nodes. A LynQ network is the former, employing a topology called a fully connected mesh network. No traffic is passed through nodes to reach their endpoint, and every single device communicates with all other devices in its pairing group directly peer-to-peer.
Personally, I've not had good luck with the Mesh connectivity, the range is only good if from person to person to person.. YMMV ... Still on the quest to find a good way to do this without paying the high costs of Satellite Locators...
