1. A method for determining a geographic relationship between communication units, the method comprising the steps of:
- transmitting, by a first communication unit, a speech message together with first location information of the first communication unit to a second communication unit;
receiving, by the second communication unit, the speech message together with the first location information;
determining, by the second communication unit, second location information of the second communication unit;
determining, by the second communication unit, a geographic relationship between the first communication unit and the second communication unit based on the first location information and the second location information; and
displaying, by the second communication unit, the geographic relationship and the speech message audibly to a user of the second communication unit by generating a multi-dimensional audible message, wherein the multi-dimensional audible message produces an acoustic perception of at least a directional component of the geographic relationship.

Abstract
Geographic relationship between communication units (102, 103) within a communication system (100) can be achieved when a first communication unit transmits its location information. Upon receiving this location information, a second communication unit determines its location information. Having this information, the second communication unit then determines a geographic relationship between the two units and subsequently displays this information both visually and audibly.

6. A method for a first communication unit to determine a geographic relationship between the first communication unit and a second communication unit, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving first location information and a speech message from the second communication unit; determining second location information for the first communication unit; determining a geographic relationship between the first communication unit and the second communication unit based on the first location information and the second location information; and displaying the geographic relationship and the speech message audibly to a user of the first communication unit by generating a multi-dimensional audible message, wherein the multi-dimensional audible message produces an acoustic perception of at least a directional component of the geographic relationship. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A method for a dispatch station to determine a geographic relationship between a communication unit and the dispatch station, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving first location information and a speech message from the communication unit; ascertaining second location information of the dispatch station; determining a geographic relationship between the dispatch station and the communication unit based on the first location information and the second location information; and audibly displaying the geographic relationship and the speech message simultaneously to a user of the dispatch station by generating a multi-dimensional audible message, wherein the multi-dimensional audible message produces an acoustic perception of at least a directional component of the geographic relationship. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
