Abstract

Mobile device users navigate to each other by their mobile devices sharing location information, and then one or more of the mobile devices receiving or generating geographical directions for presentation to the mobile device's user to navigate to another of the mobile devices. Two mobile devices can provide geographical directions to enable their respective users to navigate toward each other, and a group of mobile devices can receive and provide or display geographical directions to variously enable their respective users to navigate to different mobile devices in the group. In one scenario, first and second mobile devices provide geographical directions to their respective locations and a third mobile device provides geographical directions to the first or second mobile device, and directions are dynamically updated as the mobile devices move.
