Abstract

According to one embodiment, a system comprises a first mobile device comprising a processor; and a computer usable medium, where the computer usable medium has computer usable program code embodied therewith, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to send a request for a location of a closest person to the first mobile device, determine a first location of the first mobile device, receive, in response to the request, a plurality of potential matches, where each of the potential matches includes a name and location of a person, receive a selection of one of the plurality of potential matches, obtain location coordinates of the selected potential match, establish a link with a global positioning service (GPS) system, transmit geographical data to the GPS system, wherein the geographical data includes the location coordinates of the selected potential match, and output a geographic solution on the first mobile device, wherein the geographic solution includes: a calculated route between the first location of the first mobile device and the location coordinates of the selected potential match, and information associated with the calculated route, the information including one or more of an estimated travel time, an average travelling speed, and an elapsed travel time.

A system, comprising:

a first mobile device comprising a processor;
and
a computer usable medium, the computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, which when executed by the processor causes the processor to:
send, from the first mobile device, a request including information associated with a mobile device of a friend of a user;
determine a first location of the first mobile device;
receive, in response to the request, a location of the mobile device of the friend of the user;
establish a link with a global positioning service (GPS) system;
transmit geographical data to the GPS system, wherein the geographical data includes the location of the mobile device of the friend of the user and the first location of the first mobile device;
and
output a geographic solution on the first mobile device, wherein the geographic solution includes:
a calculated route between the first location of the first mobile device and the location of the mobile device of the friend of the user, and information associated with the calculated route, the information including one or more of an estimated travel time, an average travelling speed, and an elapsed travel time.
