hey guys,
in a project im working on, users have a gps enabled mobile phone. those new ones that have map with direction and everything.
on the website we store map locations with lat,long and i need to send these to a mobile via sms. the sms part is solved but i dont know how to send the latitude and longitude so that it can be automatically recognized as a map location not just a text message that a user writes down the coordinates and inserts them into a map.
ive googled alot for key words like "mobile gps location with sms" but found nothing useful.
so by any chance , does anyone know the format i should send the latitude and longitude to the mobile device?

thnx in advance,
yo homie i heard you like one-line codes so i put a one line code that evals a decrypted one line code that prints "i love one line codes"
eval(base64_decode("cHJpbnQgJ2kgbG92ZSBvbmUtbGluZSBjb2Rlcyc7"));

Um.. I guess you have to send a sms to a server, there you gotta process it with cronjob and then take that info from that sms.. then you need a some kind of database where are all those map things in it.. and then you have to compare your sms and that database.. and then you will get your answer.

the sms part is done, i found a great service by "clickatell.com" gives you an api that you can use to send smss, it also covers almost the whole world
but my problem is the format that i send to the mobile so that the mobile can automatically read a map point without copying(or entering) the coordinates.
anyways, thanks jaan for your try :amr: , maybe someone will come up with something in the near future :)

I'm pretty sure what you are trying to do is phone dependent. However, can you just send them a URL?

example.com might be Google Maps.

The URL was actually [noparse]http://www.example.c...ong=xxx?lat=yyy[/noparse] but vB parsed it :| - but I suppose you get the idea.
