Abstract
A method (50) and system (10) for recipient based scoping of location information can include a communication device (12, 14, or 16) within a communication network and a processor (22, 28, or 32) coupled to the communication network. The processor can be programmed to obtain or receive (52) location information having more than one level of granularity and automatically adjusting (54) a level of granularity of the location information at the communication device based on location related characteristics of a recipient (39) at a selective call receiver (14).
