Sharing Location Information Among Devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- on a first device executing a first instance of a location application, receiving an indication to begin sharing data describing a path traveled by the first device;
receiving location data describing the path traveled by the first device, the location data received from a location system of the first device, and the location data including a plurality of locations of the first device; and
transmitting the location data in a form usable to enable a user interface of a second instance of a location application executing on a second device to indicate the path traveled by the first device.
