Welcome to the Blip user guide  

Blip is an easy-to-use geo-social interaction tool for BlackBerry® 
smartphones that feature internal GPS technology.  It enables you 
to Share Your Where with the people that you know and vice versa. 
By sharing  GPS locations, Blip helps everyone answer questions 
of Who, Where, and When. 

Blip allows you to interact with BlackLine's GPS Snitch vehicle 
tracking and security product.  GPS Snitch owners who are familiar 
with the GPS Snitch Web experience are now able to take it on the 
road with them on BlackBerry smartphones.

Users of BlackBerry Smartphones without GPS technology can 
share in the fun, interacting with shared GPS-enabled BlackBerry 
smartphones and GPS Snitch devices.
