1. A method for consolidating location-dependent information in a two-way radio system, the method comprising:
- determining a geographic location of each subscriber unit in a group of subscriber units active within a radio frequency (RF) coverage area of a base station (BS);
determining a single representative geographic location for the group of subscriber units as a function of the geographic locations of each subscriber unit in the group;
requesting, from a content provider, location-dependent information using the representative geographic location; and
causing the location-dependent information to be broadcast to the subscriber units in the group within the RF coverage area.

Abstract
A process for consolidating location-dependent information in a two-way radio system includes determining a geographic location of each subscriber unit in a group of subscriber units active within a radio frequency (RF) coverage area of a base station (BS), determining a single representative geographic location for the group of subscriber units based on their geographic locations, requesting location-dependent information from a content provider using the representative geographic location, and causing the location-dependent information to be broadcast within the RF coverage area.
