Abstract
A method performed by a mobile device entails determining a current location of the mobile device, storing the current location as a breadcrumb (recorded) location of the mobile device, and performing an action with respect to the breadcrumb location when the mobile device has moved away from the breadcrumb location. The action may entail sharing the breadcrumb location with another device. Reverse geocoded address information may be provided for the breadcrumb locations.
