YC-Backed Location-Based Social Startup Glassmap Adds Photos And Events To Its iPhone App

When I first demoed the Glassmap app about six months ago, it was a pretty standard way to keep track of where your friends were. Like Apple's Find My Friends, but better. The key differentiator then was that Glassmap uses a proprietary, patent-pending technology called "Relay" that let you keep tabs on your friends in real-time without burning through phone's battery, providing 10x the battery life compared to other real-time location apps. Well, Glassmap still uses Relay, but it's added a lot of new social features that go beyond just seeing where your friends are on a map at any given time. For one thing, it's added Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter integration, so that users can share what their doing to those networks. More importantly, however, it can now surface photos and other information to provide information about events and other things happening near you.
