Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method in a wireless communications device for transmitting location information entails, from within a communication application executing on a processor of the wireless communications device, receiving input on a user interface of the wireless communications device, including location information comprising a current location of the wireless communications device obtained by the wireless communications device and path information delineating a recent path taken by the user, in a communication being generated from within the communication application, and transmitting the communication that includes the current location information. The path information is determined based on recent location fixes for the wireless communications device. Location information, such as maps can be sent directly from an instant messenger without having to separately launch a mapping application.
