Sending location information from within a communication application

A computer readable medium comprising code which, when loaded into memory and executed on a processor of a wireless communications device, is configured to cause the wireless communications device to:

• receive input on a user interface of the wireless communications device from within a communication application executing on the wireless communications device;
• include current location information in a communication being generated from within the communication application;
• transmit the communication to a recipient that includes the current location information;
• update the location information;
• and,
• reply to a communication from the recipient in response to the transmitted communication with the updated location information.

A wireless communications device for sending current location information representing a current location of the device, the device comprising:

• a user interface for receiving input;
• a position-determining subsystem for determining the location information representing a current location of the device;
• a memory operatively connected to a processor for storing and executing a communication application configured to generate a communication to a recipient and to include current location information from the subsystem into the generated communication in response to the input received via the user interface, and to generate a reply to a communication from the recipient in response to the communication to the recipient with updated location information from the subsystem;
• and
• a radiofrequency transmitter for transmitting the current location information as part of the communication generated from within the communication application and also the updated location information as part of the reply generated from within the communication application.
