By using Send Location in Mail (Slim) program, the user agrees to and acknowledges the following.
Both Slim and the map library use cookies. The user agrees using them.
We do not handle personal data, only the email addresses required for sending and the current position at the time of sending. These are usually publicly available data.
We do not assume any responsibility for their protection or for any damages resulting from their getting it.
Email sending is not a guaranteed procedure, so we cannot take responsibility for undelivered Slim messages or any resulting damages.
Slim uses position retrieval implemented in the browser with all its advantages and disadvantages.
Accordingly, we are not responsible for the operation of the position retrieval or the accuracy of the position.
Slim uses the OpenLayers opensource map library, whose terms of use are accepted and acknowledged by the user by using Slim.
The OpenLayers is completely free, Open Source JavaScript, released under the [BSD 2-Clause License](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause).
We are not responsible for any damage caused by possible outages and data loss during the operation of slim.

Send Location in Mail (Slim) system
With the slim, the client's current position and the selected message can be sent to the recipient(s) via email.
When recipients open the url in the received email, they can see the message and the sender's position.
Slim does not provide continuous tracking. We designed it for occasional, quick position sharing.
The advantage of slim is that it runs in a browser, it does not require downloading or configuring any app. It is important that the browser must be active.
If the browser goes into the background (screen saver or closing), slim will not run either. If it becomes active again from the background, it will continue where it left off.
We think that using slim is quite intuitive and easy. The interpretation and use of it should not cause problems either.
Appearance
If you start slim in the base state (without parameters), will be displayed the base menu and a map showing your position.
Clicking on the compass graphic will reload the page. If you click in the upper bar, menu shows or hides.
If you click on a url received in a letter from someone, you can see the message and position of the sender. If you click on one of the texts in the upper bar, the position details will disappear/appear.
By clicking on the graphic representing the compass, the base state page launched.
Basic use Preparations
A valid account is required. (see "User and password (account) management")
When any data change is will be automatically saved as cookie for persistent storage.
Sending
Enter the url required to access slim in the browser.
On the page that appears, the reloaded data is already there and your current position is visible on the map.
In the "SEND TO" button you can see the emails, where the position will be sent. You can change this list under the "DATA" menu.
Press the "SEND TO" button to send your position.
Wait until the "SEND TO" button becomes active again. The sending process is now complete.
You can check the result of the process in the "Event response" field.
User and password (account) management
The "User" and "Password" fields must be filled in (DATA"). "User" must be a valid email address.
You must press the "Add account" button, then the "Yes" button that becomes active. The system then records the "User"/"Password" and sends an email to the email address specified in "User". With "No", there is no recording.
When sending the position or performing account operations, the server checks the account and performs the requested operation only if it is valid.
When "Del account" is used ("Yes"/"No" procedure), the system deletes the account and sends a letter about the fact of deletion to the former "User".
When using "Send account" ("Yes"/"No" procedure), the system sends the account data ("User" and "Password") to the "User" via email.
There is no possibility to change the password. To do this, you must delete the account and add it again with the desired new password.
Send position
The "User" and "Password" fields must be filled out (valid account) ("DATA").
Slim sends the position to the addresses that you see in "SEND TO" button. You can change this list under "DATA" menu. The first three active mails will be valid.
The message to be sent must be selected from the "Message" list.
You must press the "SEND TO" button. The current position (iteration) is then queried (and shown on the map) several times. If the accuracy is high enough, or 20 seconds have passed, the position and message will be sent.
During the iteration, the "SEND TO" button becomes inactive, the "Now" button becomes active, and when pressed, the iteration ends immediately and the last scanned position is sent.
During the iteration, in the "Event response" field, the iteration process can be followed in the form "Nx+y Tz", where N represents the number of position readings (x-successful reading, y-unsuccessful reading), T shows the iteration time (z-seconds ).
Data management The filled-in data ("Message", "User", "Password", "Email address list") will be automatically save as cookies, and start again the program will be re-entered into the fields.
The "Del cookies" ("Yes"/"No" procedure) deletes the cookie values from the client, so they can no longer be reloaded.
More options
Pressing "CLAIM" displays/hides the disclaimers and terms of use.
Pressing "HELP" brings up/hides the quick user guide you are currently reading.
Pressing "DATA" hides/brings back the data entry and control panel (giving more space to the map when hidden).
Pressing "Del" deletes the contents of the "Event response" message field.
Pressing "Now" send imiately the position of actual iteration (if it active).
Pressing "Refresh" starts the iteration process, but only displays the result on the map, not sending it by email. The iteration can also be stopped here with "Now".
Pressing "SEND now" will immediately send the currently visible position. It does not iterate.
