This is a good description of what a Personal Location
Services should provide.
LOCiMe turns
your iPhone into
a 2-way GPS transceiver,
sending your location to a friend, family member, loved one, colleague
instantly via the GTXPLS Viewing Portal.
Some popular ways to use LOCiMe include: Track an athlete, Keep tabs on
"wanderers" such as Alzheimer's patients, a child, a loved one, the
uses are endless.
I think this is the best video describing the iPhone
app that connects friends faster than TXTing or a call.

There is nothing like being able to quickly locate a friend. The Iphone GPS App call iLOCi seems to be the very best in class. I do not think you can beat the price that's for sure! A Bi-directional GPS App for the iPhone for $2.99 is enough to make me want to own one!
